2 Kings 10:20

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.

21 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 the¹ temple of Baal, and the ^atemple of Baal was full from one end to the other.

22 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.
