2 Kings 10:18-20

New International Reader's Version

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.

²⁰ Jehu said, “Call everyone together to honor Baal.” So they did.
