2 Kings 10:15-27

[15] thence, he lighted  on Jehonadab  the son  of Rechab  coming to meet  him: and he saluted  him, and said  to him, Is  thine heart  right,  as my heart  And Jehonadab  answered,  It is.  If it be, give  me thine hand.  And he gave  him his hand;  and he took him up  to him into the chariot.  [16] And he said,  with me, and see  my zeal  for the LORD.  So they made him ride  in his chariot.  [17] And when he came  to Samaria,  he slew  all that remained  unto Ahab  in Samaria,  till he had destroyed  him, according to the saying  of the LORD,  which he spake  to Elijah.  [18] And Jehu  all the people  together,  and said  unto them, Ahab  served  Baal  a little;  but Jehu  shall serve  him much.  [19] Now therefore call  unto me all the prophets  of Baal,  all his servants,  and all his priests;  let none  be wanting:  for I have a great  sacrifice  to do to Baal;  whosoever shall be wanting,  he shall not live.  But Jehu  did  it in subtilty,  to the intent that he might destroy  the worshippers  of Baal.  [20] And Jehu  said,  Proclaim  a solemn assembly  for Baal.  And they proclaimed  [21] And Jehu  sent  through all Israel:  and all the worshippers  of Baal  came,  so that there was not a man  left  that came  into the house  of Baal;  and the house  of Baal  was full  from one end  [22] And he said  unto him that was over the vestry,  Bring forth  vestments  for all the worshippers  of Baal.  And he brought them forth  vestments.  [23] And Jehu  went,  and Jehonadab  the son  of Rechab,  into the house  of Baal,  and said  unto the worshippers  of Baal,  Search,  and look  that there be  here with you none of the servants  of the LORD,  but the worshippers  of Baal  [24] And when they went in  to offer  sacrifices  and burnt offerings,  Jehu  appointed  fourscore  men  without,  and said,  If any  whom I have brought  into your hands  escape,  he that letteth him go, his life  of him. [25] And it came to pass, 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 slay  them; let none  come forth.  And they smote  them with the edge  of the sword;  and the guard  and the captains  cast them out,  to the city  of the house  of Baal.  [26] And they brought forth  the images  out of the house  of Baal,  and burned  [27] And they brake down  the image  of Baal,  and brake down  the house  of Baal,  and made  it a draught house  unto this day.
