Setelah Yehu selesai mempersembahkan korban bakaran, berkatalah ia kepada bentara-bentara dan kepada perwira-perwira: "Masuklah, bunuhlah mereka, seorangpun tidak boleh lolos!" Maka dibunuhlah mereka dengan mata pedang, lalu mayatnya dibuang; kemudian masuklah bentara-bentara dan perwira-perwira itu ke gedung rumah Baal.
Maka sesungguhnya baharu sudah dipersembahkan oranglah korban bakaran itu, lalu kata Yehu kepada segala biduanda dan panglima itu: Marilah masuk, bunuhlah mereka itu, seorang juapun jangan luput. Maka dibunuhnyalah mereka itu sekalian dengan mata pedang dan dibuang oleh segala biduanda dan panglima akan dia, kemudian masuklah mereka itu ke dalam segala kubat kuil Baal itu,

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering,.... The chief of the priests of Baal, whose office it was to do this service:
that Jehu said to the guard, and to the captains, go in and slay them, let none come forth; this he said to the eighty men set to guard the temple, and the officers over them; and perhaps they might also have a reinforcement, since such a number seems scarcely sufficient to destroy so many as were here; though indeed it must be considered they were armed men:
and they smote them with the edge of the sword; put them all to death:
and the guard and the captains cast them out; those that were slain, as the Targum, their dead bodies; but it can hardly be thought they would be at the trouble of casting them out, when the house was to be pulled down, and made a jakes (a common sewer or dung house) of, as follows; rather therefore it should be rendered, "they cast" or "flung themselves" u with great force, and in great haste, as Kimchi, and rushed out of the temple, being eager to do as follows:
and went to the city of the house of Baal; to pull it down; to some city near Samaria where was a temple of Baal; or rather this may design the buildings about the temple of Baal, in which the priests and their families lived, and were so large that they might be called a city of themselves.
u וישלכי "et proripuerunt se", De Dicu.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
As soon as he had made an end of offering - The actual sacrificers were no doubt the priests of Baal; but Jehu is considered to have made the offering, since he furnished the victims. Compare 1 Kings 8:62-63.
The guard - literally, “the runners.” This name seems to have been given to the royal body-guard as early as the time of Saul (1 Samuel 22:17, margin). It was their duty to run by the side of the king’s chariot as he moved from plaze to place.
Cast them out, and went - Rather, “the captains hasted and went,” or “went hastily;” which gives a satisfactory sense. That the soldiers should have troubled themselves to cast the bodies of the slain out of the temple enclosure is very unlikely.
The city of the house of Baal - i. e., the temple itself, as distinguished from the court in which it stood, is intended. The guard having slain all who were in the court, rushed on and entered the sanctuary, there no doubt completing the massacre, and further tearing down and bringing out the sacred objects mentioned in the next verse.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 10:25. As soon as he had made an end of offering — Had Jehu been a man of any conscientious principle in religion, he would have finished the tragedy before he offered the burnt-offering; but to a man of no religion, the worship of Jehovah and of Baal are alike. If he prefers either, it is merely as a statesman, for political purposes.
To the guard and to the captains — לרצים ולשלשים leratsim uleshalashim; to the couriers or runners, and the shalashim, the men of the third rank, those officers who were next to the nobles, the king and these being only their superiors. The runners were probably a sort of light infantry.
The city of the house of Baal. — Does not this mean a sort of holy of holies, where the most sacred images of Baal were kept? A place separated from the temple of Baal, as the holy of holies in the temple of Jehovah was separated from what was called the holy place.
