18. Jehu gathered all the people together and said to them: “Ahab served Baal to some extent, but Jehu will serve him yet more.
19. Now summon for me all Baal’s prophets, all his servants, and all his priests. See that no one is absent, for I have a great sacrifice for Baal. Whoever is absent shall not live.” This Jehu did as a ruse, so that he might destroy the servants of Baal.
20. Jehu said further, “Proclaim a solemn assembly in honor of Baal.” They did so,
21. and Jehu sent word of it throughout all Israel. All the servants of Baal came; there was no one who did not come; they came to the temple of Baal, and it was filled from wall to wall.
