18Jehu gathered all the people and said to them, "Ahab served Baal little; Jehu will serve him much."19And now, all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests—call to me, man by man; let no one be missed, for I have a great sacrifice to Baal; whoever is missed will not live. And Jehu did it in cunning in order to destroy the servants of Baal.20And Jehu said, "Sanctify an assembly for Baal." And they proclaimed it.21Jehu sent to all Israel, and all the servants of Baal came, and no man was left who did not come. They came to the house of Baal, and the house of Baal was filled from end to end.22He said to the one over the wardrobe, "Bring out clothing for all the servants of Baal." And he brought out the clothing to them.23And Jehu came and Jonadab son of Rechab to the house of Baal, and he said to the servants of Baal, "Search and see lest there is here with you any from the servants of the LORD—for only the servants of Baal alone."24They came to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, and Jehu stationed eighty men outside. He said, "The man who lets any of the men I am bringing into your hands escape, his life for his life."25As soon as he finished making the burnt offering, Jehu said to the runners and to the thirds, "Come, strike them down—man by man; let not a man go out." They struck them down at the mouth of the sword, and the runners and the thirds threw them out, and they went as far as the city of the House of Baal.26They brought out the pillars of the house of Baal and burned them.27They broke down the pillar of Baal, they broke down the house of Baal, and they made it into latrines until this day.28Jehu exterminated Baal from Israel.29Only the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he caused Israel to sin, Jehu did not turn away from after them—the golden calves that were in Bethel and that were in Dan.30And the LORD said to Jehu, “Because you have done good to do the uprightness in my eyes, according to all that was in my heart you have done to the House of Ahab, sons of four generations will sit for you on the Throne of Israel.”31Jehu did not keep walking in the Torah of the LORD God of Israel with all his heart; he did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam, which he caused Israel to sin.32In those days the LORD began to cut off parts of Israel, and Hazael struck them along all Israel's borders.33from the Jordan, the sunrise of the sun, all the land of Gilead, the Gadite, and the Reubenite, and the Manassite, Aroer which is upon the wadi Arnon, and Gilead, and Bashan.34Now the rest of the words of Jehu and all that he did and all his might—are they not written in the book of the words of the days for the kings of Israel?35And Jehu lay down with his fathers, and they buried him in Shimron, and Jehoahaz his son reigned in his place.36The days that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria were twenty-eight years.
