2 Kings 10:19-21
New English Translation

19 So now, bring to me all the prophets of Baal, as well as all his servants and priests.[a] None of them must be absent, for I am offering a great sacrifice to Baal. Any of them who fails to appear will lose his life.” But Jehu was tricking them[b] so he could destroy the servants of Baal. 20 Then Jehu ordered, “Make arrangements for[c] a celebration for Baal.” So they announced it. 21 Jehu sent invitations throughout Israel, and all the servants of Baal came; not one was absent. They arrived at the temple of Baal and filled it up from end to end.[d]
