Jehu Strikes Down the Prophets of Baal

18Then Jehu assembled all the people and said to them, iAhab served Baal a little, but Jehu will serve him much. 19Now therefore call to me all the jprophets of Baal, all his worshipers and all his priests. Let none be missing, for I have a great sacrifice to offer to Baal. Whoever is missing shall not live.” But Jehu did it with cunning in order to destroy the worshipers of Baal. 20And Jehu ordered, kSanctify la solemn assembly for Baal.” So mthey proclaimed it.
