2 Kings 10:14-20

  1. And he said, Take them alive. And they took them alive, and slew them at the pit of the shearing house, even two and forty men; neither left he any of them.

  2. And when he was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him: and he saluted him, and said to him, Is thine heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it be, give me thine hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.

  3. And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD. So they made him ride in his chariot.

  4. And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that remained unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the saying of the LORD, which he spake to Elijah.

  5. And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu shall serve him much.

  6. Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.

  7. And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it.
