2 Kings 10:24-29 World English Bible (WEB)

24. So they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had appointed for himself eighty men outside, and said, “If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escape, he who lets him go, his life shall be for the life of him.”

25. As soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, “Go in and kill them! Let no one escape.” So they struck them with the edge of the sword. The guard and the captains threw the bodies out, and went to the inner shrine of the house of Baal.

26. They brought out the pillars that were in the house of Baal, and burned them.

27. They broke down the pillar of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a latrine, to this day.

28. Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.

29. However, Jehu didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin, the golden calves that were in Bethel and that were in Dan.
