2 Kings 10:24 in Context — 2 Kings 10
22 Jéhu dit à celui qui avait la garde du vestiaire: Sors des vêtements pour tous les serviteurs de Baal. Et cet homme sortit des vêtements pour eux.
23 Alors Jéhu vint à la maison de Baal avec Jonadab, fils de Récab, et il dit aux serviteurs de Baal: Cherchez et regardez, afin qu’il n’y ait pas ici des serviteurs de l’Éternel, mais qu’il y ait seulement des serviteurs de Baal.
24 Et ils entrèrent pour offrir des sacrifices et des holocaustes. Jéhu avait placé dehors quatre-vingts hommes, en leur disant: Celui qui laissera échapper quelqu’un des hommes que je remets entre vos mains, sa vie répondra de la sienne.
25 Lorsqu’on eut achevé d’offrir les holocaustes, Jéhu dit aux coureurs et aux officiers: Entrez, frappez-les, que pas un ne sorte. Et ils les frappèrent du tranchant de l’épée. Les coureurs et les officiers les jetèrent là, et ils allèrent jusqu’à la ville de la maison de Baal.
26 Ils tirèrent dehors les statues de la maison de Baal, et les brûlèrent.
