And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings,.... To Baal, all things being ready for them:
Jehu appointed eighty men without; without the temple of Baal, at the several doors and avenues of it:
and said, if any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him go, his life shall be for the life of him; should be put to death for it in his room; the life of a watchman set to guard should go for the life of one that escaped.
