18 And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them: 'Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu will serve him much. 19 Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his worshippers, 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 subtlety, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal. 20 And Jehu said: 'Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal.' And they proclaimed it. 21 And Jehu sent through all Israel; and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to another. 2 Kings 10:18-21, JPS Tanakh 1917. Public domain.
