23 And Jehu went, and Jehon´adab the son of Rechab, into the house of Ba´al, and said unto the worshippers of Ba´al, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of the Lord, but the worshippers of Ba´al only.
24 And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, Jehu appointed fourscore men without, and said, If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him go, his life shall be for the life of him.
25 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, and slay them; let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Ba´al.
26 And they brought forth the images out of the house of Ba´al, and burned them.
27 And they brake down the image of Ba´al, and brake down the house of Ba´al, and made it a draught house unto this day.
28 Thus Jehu destroyed Ba´al out of Israel.
29 Howbeit, from the sins of Jerobo´am the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, to wit, the golden calves that were in Beth–el, and that were in Dan.
