Let no one be missing, for I have a great sacrifice for Baal. Whoever is missing shall not live.” But Jehu acted deceptively, with the intent of destroying the worshipers of Baal.And Jehu said,“ Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal.” So they proclaimed it.Then Jehu sent throughout all Israel; and all the worshipers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left who did not come. So they came into the temple of Baal, and the temple of Baal was full from one end to the other.And he said to the one in charge of the wardrobe,“ Bring out vestments for all the worshipers of Baal.” So he brought out vestments for them.Then Jehu and Jehonadab the son of Rechab went into the temple of Baal, and said to the worshipers of Baal,“ Search and see that no servants of the Lord are here with you, but only the worshipers of Baal.”So they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had appointed for himself eighty men on the outside, and had said,“ If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escapes, whoever lets him escape, it shall be his life for the life of the other.”Now it happened, 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 kill them; let no one come out!” And they killed them with the edge of the sword; then the guards and the officers threw them out, and went into the inner room of the temple of Baal.And they brought the sacred pillars out of the temple of Baal and burned them.Then they broke down the sacred pillar of Baal, and tore down the temple of Baal and made it a refuse dump to this day.Thus Jehu destroyed Baal from Israel.
