2 Kings 10:19-21

The Message

^18-19 Next, Jehu got all the people together and addressed them:

“Get all the prophets of Baal here—everyone who served him, all his priests. Get everyone here; don’t leave anyone out. I have a great sacrifice to offer Baal. If you don’t show up, you won’t live to tell about it.” (Jehu was lying, of course. He planned to destroy all the worshipers of Baal.)

²⁰ Jehu ordered, “Make preparation for a holy convocation for Baal.” They did and posted the date.

²¹ Jehu then summoned everyone in Israel. They came in droves—every worshiper of Baal in the country. Nobody stayed home. They came and packed the temple of Baal to capacity.
