2 Kings 10:17-19
New International Reader's Version
17 Jehu came to Samaria. He killed everyone there who was left from Ahab’s family. And so he completely destroyed Ahab’s royal house. That’s what the Lord had said would happen. He had spoken that message to Elijah.
Jehu Kills the People Who Serve Baal
18 Then Jehu brought together all the people. He said to them, “Ahab served the god named Baal a little. I will serve him a lot. 19 Send for all of Baal’s prophets. Also send for all his priests and the others who serve him. Make sure that not a single one is missing. I’m going to hold a great sacrifice to honor Baal. Anyone who doesn’t come will be killed.” But Jehu was lying to them. He was planning to destroy everyone who served Baal.

Servants of Baal Killed
18 Then Jehu brought all the people together and said to them, “Ahab served(B) Baal a little; Jehu will serve him much. 19 Now summon(C) all the prophets of Baal, all his servants and all his priests. See that no one is missing, because I am going to hold a great sacrifice for Baal. Anyone who fails to come will no longer live.” But Jehu was acting deceptively in order to destroy the servants of Baal.
