BRAGADAYJAH 1090
Jehu cleansed Israel of Baal
So the worshippers of Baal gathered and went in to offer sacrifices and burn offerings. And Jehu appointed eighty men outside and instructed them that if any of the people inside should escape, he would hold each of them accountable and pay with their own lives. And when the worshippers of Baal had made an end of sacrifice and burnt offering, Jehu commanded them to go inside and slay every one of them; and they were slain, and the bodies thrust out; and they went to the house of Baal and took out the images and burnt them, and thus eradicated Baal out of Israel. However, Jehu did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin, for he kept the golden calves that were in Bethel and Dan. And the Lord told Jehu that because he had done well in expelling Baal his children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel; but Jehu took no heed of the word of the Lord and continued in the sins of Jeroboam.
