18 Jehu assembled all the people and said to them, |Ahab worshiped Baal a little; Jehu will worship him with great devotion. 19 So now, bring to me all the prophets of Baal, as well as all his servants and priests. None of them must be absent, for I am offering a great sacrifice to Baal. Any of them who fail to appear will lose their lives.| But Jehu was tricking them so he could destroy the servants of Baal. 20 Then Jehu ordered, |Make arrangements for a celebration for Baal.| So they announced it. 21 Jehu sent invitations throughout Israel, and all the servants of Baal came; not one was absent. They arrived at the temple of Baal and filled it up from end to end. 2 Kings 10:18-21, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
