Melachim Bais 10:23-28 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

23. And Yehu went, and Yehonadav Ben Rechav, into the bais Ba'al, and said unto the ovdei HaBa'al, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the avadim of Hashem, but the ovdei HaBa'al only.

24. And when they went in to offer zevakhim and olot, Yehu appointed fourscore ish outside, and said, If any of the anashim whom I have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him go, his nefesh shall be for the nefesh of him.

25. And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the olah (burnt offering), that Yehu said to the guard and to the shalishim (officers), Go in, and slay them; let none come forth. And they cut them down with the edge of the cherev; and the guard and the shalishim cast them out, and went to the Ir of the bais of Ba'al.

26. And they brought forth the matzevot out of the bais of Baal, and burned them.

27. And they demolished the matzevot HaBa'al, and broke down the bais of Baal, and made it mokharot (latrines) unto this day.

28. Thus Yehu destroyed Ba'al out of Yisroel.
