Now Jehu had stationed for himself eighty men outside, and he had said, “(A)The one who allows any of the men whom I bring into your hands to escape [b]shall give up his life in exchange.”

25 Then it came about, as soon as he had finished [c]offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the [d](B)guard and to the royal officers, “(C)Go in, [e]kill them; let none come out.” So they [f]killed them with the edge of the sword; and the [g]guard and the royal officers threw them out, and went to the [h]sanctuary of the house of Baal. 26 They brought out the (D)memorial stones of the house of Baal and burned them.
