19 Now therefore, summon to me all the prophets of Baal, and all his servants, and all his priests. Let no one be permitted not to come, for great is the sacrifice from me to Baal. Whoever will fail to come, he shall not live.' Now Jehu was doing this treacherously, so that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.
20 And he said: 'Sanctify a day of solemnity for Baal.' And he summoned
21 and sent into all the borders of Israel. And all the servants of Baal came. There was left behind not even one who did not arrive. And they entered into the temple of Baal. And the house of Baal was filled, all the way from end to end.
22 And he said to those who were over the vestments, 'Bring forth vestments for all the servants of Baal.' And they brought forth vestments for them.
23 And Jehu, upon entering the temple of Baal with Jehonadab, the son of Rechab, said to the worshippers of Baal, 'Inquire and see that there is no one with you from the servants of the Lord, but only from the servants of Baal.'
