Context
Jehu Executes the Prophets and Priests of Baal

10:18 Jehu assembled all the people and said to them, “Ahab worshiped 1  Baal a little; Jehu will worship 2  him with great devotion. 3  10:19 So now, bring to me all the prophets of Baal, as well as all his servants and priests. 4  None of them must be absent, for I am offering a great sacrifice to Baal. Any of them who fail to appear will lose their lives.” But Jehu was tricking them 5  so he could destroy the servants of Baal. 10:20 Then Jehu ordered, “Make arrangements for 6  a celebration for Baal.” So they announced it.
