15 Jehu departed from there and encountered Rechab’s son Jehonadab. Jehu greeted him, and asked, "Are you as committed to me as I am to you?"Jehonadab responded, "Yes, I am.""If so," said Jehu, "then give me your hand." So Jehonadab put out his hand, and Jehu pulled him up into the chariot.
16 Jehu said, "Come with me and see my zeal for the Lord." So Jehu had Jehonadab ride with him in his chariot.
17 When Jehu arrived in Samaria, he killed all those belonging to Ahab who were left in Samaria until they were completely wiped out, in agreement with the Lord’s word that was spoken to Elijah.
18 Then Jehu gathered all the people, saying to them, "Ahab served Baal a little. Jehu will serve him a great deal!
19 So invite all of Baal’s prophets, all his worshippers, and all his priests to come to me. Don’t leave anyone out, because I have a great sacrifice planned for Baal. Anyone who doesn’t show up won’t survive." But Jehu was lying so that he could wipe out Baal’s worshippers.
20 Jehu called for a holy assembly for Baal, and it was done.
21 Jehu then sent word throughout Israel. All Baal’s worshippers came. No one stayed away. They entered Baal’s temple until it was packed from one end to the other.
