2 Kings 10:24-26

New Living Translation

²⁴ So they were all inside the temple to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had stationed eighty of his men outside the building and had warned them, “If you let anyone escape, you will pay for it with your own life.”

²⁵ As soon as Jehu had finished sacrificing the burnt offering, he commanded his guards and officers, “Go in and kill all of them. Don’t let a single one escape!” So they killed them all with their swords, and the guards and officers dragged their bodies outside.^[a] Then Jehu’s men went into the innermost fortress^[b] of the temple of Baal. ²⁶ They dragged out the sacred pillar^[c] used in the worship of Baal and burned it.
