10. Know now that of the word of the Lord which the Lord spoke concerning the house of Ahab, nothing shall fall to the ground, for the Lord has done that which he spoke by his slave Elijah.
11. So Jehu slew all that had remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men and all his kinsfolk and all his priests until he left him none remaining.
12. And he arose and departed and came to Samaria. And as he was at a pastor’s shearing house in the way,
13. Jehu met with the brethren of Ahaziah, king of Judah, and said, Who are ye? And they answered, We are the brethren of Ahaziah, and we go down to salute the sons of the king and the sons of the queen.
14. So he said, Take them alive. And after they took them alive, they slew them at the well of the shearing house, forty-two men, without leaving any of them.
15. And when he had departed from there, he met Jehonadab, the son of Rechab; and after he saluted him, he said to him, Is thy heart right as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it is, give me thy hand. And he gave him his hand, and he took him up to him into the chariot.
16. And he said, Come with me, and thou shalt see my zeal for the Lord. So they had him ride in his chariot.
17. And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that had remained of Ahab in Samaria, until he had completely destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord which he had spoken to Elijah.
18. And Jehu gathered all the people together and said unto them, Ahab served Baal a little but Jehu shall serve him much.
19. Now, therefore, call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let no one be lacking, for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whoever is lacking shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtilty to the intent that he might destroy those that served Baal.
20. And Jehu said, Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it.
21. And Jehu sent through all Israel, and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was no one lacking that did not come. And they came into the house of Baal, and the house of Baal was full from one end to another.
22. And he said to the one that was over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all those that served Baal. And he brought them forth vestments.
23. And Jehu went with Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal and said unto the servants of Baal, Search and make sure that none of the slaves of the Lord are here with you, but only the servants of Baal.
24. And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, Jehu put eighty men outside and said, Whoever leaves alive any of the men whom I have brought into your hands, his life shall be for that of the other.
25. And after they had finished offering the burnt offering, Jehu said to those of his guard and to the captains, Go in, and slay them; let none escape. And they smote them with the edge of the sword, and the guard and the captains left them where they fell and went to the city of the house of Baal,
26. and they removed the images out of the house of Baal and burned them.
27. And they broke down the image of Baal and broke down the house of Baal and made it a latrine unto this day.
28. Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
