17 And when he came to Samaria, ahe killed all who remained to Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed them, according to the word of the Lord bwhich He spoke to Elijah.  

Worshipers of Baal Killed

18 Then Jehu gathered all the people together, and said to them, a“Ahab served Baal a little, Jehu will serve him much.  
19 Now therefore, call to me all the aprophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests. 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.  
20 And Jehu said, “Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal.” So they proclaimed it.

2 Kings 10:15-18

Jehonadab the son of Rechab—(See I Chronicles 2:55). A person who, from his piety and simple primitive manner of life (Jer. 35:1-19), was highly esteemed, and possessed great influence in the country. Jehu saw in a moment the advantage that his cause would gain from the friendship and countenance of this venerable man in the eyes of the people, and accordingly paid him the distinguished attention of inviting him to a seat in his chariot.

give me thine hand—not simply to aid him in getting up, but for a far more significant and important purpose—the giving, or rather joining hands, being the recognized mode of striking a league or covenant, as well as of testifying fealty to a new sovereign; accordingly, it is said, "he [Jehonadab] gave him [Jehu] his hand."
