2 Kings 10:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 Then Jehu assembled all the people, and said unto them, Ahab served [a]Baal a little, but Jehu shall serve him much more.
19 Now therefore call unto me all ye prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests, and let not a man be lacking: for I have a great sacrifice for Baal: whosoever is lacking, he shall not live. But Jehu did it by a subtlety to destroy the servants of Baal.
20 And Jehu said, [b]Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it.
