II Kings 10:26-28

II Kings 10:26-28 And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal, and burned them. And they brake down the image of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught house unto this day. Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel. Jehu not only rid the country of Israel of wicked Queen Jezebel, he removed all of the wicked prophets of Baal from the land. When Jehu became king, he devised a clever plan to get rid of all of the prophets of Baal at one time. Jehu announced that he wanted to have a meeting only with the men who were loyal to the idol Baal. He sent word throughout Israel that there was going to be a big “Baal” meeting and everyone needed to be there. Everyone not true worshipers or priests of Baal were forbidden. But once he had everyone present, he locked all exits and commanded 80 hand-picked soldiers to execute all of the wicked idol-worshipers. Then Jehu proceeded to destroy all the images of Baal and tear down all the temples to Baal. He made the temple grounds a place where everyone in Israel brought their trash. Jehu turned the temples of Baal into garbage dumps! Good for him!
