17 When he came to Samaria, he struck all who remained to Ahab in Samaria, until he had destroyed him, according to the Lord’s word, which he spoke to Elijah.
18 Jehu gathered all the people together, and said to them, “Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu will serve him much.
19 Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, all of his worshippers, and all of his priests. Let no one be absent; for I have a great sacrifice to Baal. Whoever is absent, he shall not live.” But Jehu did deceptively, intending to destroy the worshippers of Baal.
20 Jehu said, “Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal!”So they proclaimed it.
21 Jehu 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.
22 He said to him who kept the wardrobe, “Bring out robes for all the worshippers of Baal!”So he brought robes out to them.
23 Jehu went with Jehonadab the son of Rechab into the house of Baal. Then he said to the worshippers of Baal, “Search, and see that none of the servants of the Lord are here with you, but only the worshippers of Baal.”
