Contextual Overview

15 And he left there and found Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him, and he blessed him. And he said to him, Is your heart right, as my heart is withyour heart? And Jehonadab said, It is. If itis, give your hand. And he gave his hand, and he made him come up to him into the chariot. 16 And he said, Come with me and see my zeal for Jehovah. And they made him ride in the chariot. 17 And he came to Samaria and killed all those left of Ahab in Samaria, until he had destroyed him, according to the Word of Jehovah that He spoke to Elijah. 18 And Jehu gathered all the people and said to them, Ahab served Baal a little; Jehu shall serve him much. 19 And now call to me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests. Do not let a man be lacking, for I shall have a great sacrifice to Baal. Anyone who is lacking, he shall not live. And Jehu was acting with cunning in orderto destroy the servants of Baal. 20 And Jehu said, Separate an assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it . 21 And Jehu sent to all Israel, and all the servants of Baal came in. And there was not a man left who did not come in. And they came into the house of Baal, and the house of Baal was full from mouth to mouth. 22 And he said to the one over the wardrobe, Bring out garments to all the servants of Baal. And he brought out the garments to them. 23 And Jehu and Jehonadab the son of Rechab went in to the house of Baal and said to the servants of Baal, Search and see that there are none of the servants of Jehovah here with you; but only the servants of Baal. 24 And they came in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. And Jehu had set for himself eighty men on the outside. And he said, The man who lets any of the men escape whom I am bringing into your hands, his life for the life of him.
