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.
