17When he came to Samaria, he struck all who remained to Ahab in Samaria, until he had destroyed him, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke to Elijah.
18Jehu gathered all the people together, and said to them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu will serve him much.
19Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, all his worshippers, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice [to do] to Baal; whoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtlety, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.
20Jehu said, Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal. They proclaimed it.
21Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that didn`t come. They came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to another.
22He said to him who was over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. He brought them forth vestments.
23Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal; and he said to the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of Yahweh, but the worshippers of Baal only.
