24 They went inside to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had stationed eighty men outside. He had told them, |If any of the men inside get away, you will pay with your lives!| 25 When he finished offering the burnt sacrifice, Jehu ordered the royal guard and officers, |Come in and strike them down! Don't let any escape!| So the royal guard and officers struck them down with the sword and left their bodies lying there. Then they entered the inner sanctuary of the temple of Baal. 2 Kings 10:24-25, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
