24 Then they¹ went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings.

Now Jehu had stationed eighty men outside and said, “The man who allows any of those whom I give into your hands to escape ⁱshall forfeit his life.” 25 So as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, Jehu said to the guard and to the officers, ^j“Go in and strike them down; let not a man escape.” So when they put them to the sword, the guard and the officers cast them out and went into the inner room of the house of Baal, 26 and they brought out the ^kpillar that was in ^hthe house of Baal and burned it. 27 And they demolished the ^kpillar of Baal, and demolished the house of Baal, and made it ^la latrine to this day.
