2 Kings 10:22-27 Amplified Bible (AMP)

22. And he said to the man over the vestry, Bring vestments for all the worshipers of Baal. And he brought them vestments.

23. Then Jehu with Jehonadab son of Rechab went into the house of Baal and said to the worshipers of Baal, Search and see that there are here with you none of the servants of the Lord–but Baal worshipers only.

24. And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, Jehu appointed eighty men outside and said, If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, he who lets him go shall forfeit his own life for his life.

25. As soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, Jehu said to the guards and to the officers, Go in and slay them; let none escape. And they smote them with the sword; and the guards or runners [before the king] and the officers threw their bodies out and went into the inner dwelling of the house of Baal.

26. They brought out the pillars or obelisks of the house of Baal and burned them.

27. They broke down the pillars of Baal and the house of Baal, and made it [forever unclean] a privy to this day.
