Contextual Overview

15 When Jehu left there, he met Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him. Jehu said to him, "Is your heart right with my heart as mine is with yours?" And Jehonadab answered, "It is." Jehu said, "If it is, give me your hand." So Jehonadab gave him his hand, and Jehu took him up into the war-wagon with him. 16 Then Jehu said, "Come with me and see how glad I am to work for the Lord." And he had him go in his war-wagon. 17 When he came to Samaria, he killed all of Ahab's people who were left in Samaria. He destroyed them, as the word of the Lord was spoken to Elijah. 18 Then Jehu gathered all the people and said to them, "Ahab worshiped Baal a little. Jehu will worship him much. 19 Now call all the men who speak for Baal, all his worshipers and all his religious leaders. Let no one be missing. For I have a big gift for Baal. Whoever is missing will not live." But Jehu did this to fool them, so that he might destroy the worshipers of Baal. 20 He said, "Set apart a special meeting for Baal." And they made the news known. 21 Then Jehu sent for all the worshipers of Baal in Israel. Every one of them came. When they went into the house of Baal, the house was filled from one end to the other. 22 Jehu said to the one who took care of the clothes, "Bring out clothing for all the worshipers of Baal." So he brought out clothing for them. 23 Jehu went into the house of Baal with Jehonadab the son of Rechab. And he said to the worshipers of Baal, "Look and see that there are no servants of the Lord here with you, but only the worshipers of Baal." 24 Then they went in to kill animals on the altar and give burnt gifts. Now Jehu had left eighty of his men outside. He had told them, "The one who lets anyone get away, will pay for it with his life."
