2 Reis 10:19

19 Pelo que chamai agora � minha presença todos os profetas de Baal, todos os seus servos e todos os seus sacerdotes; não falte nenhum, porque tenho um grande sacrifício a fazer a Baal; aquele que faltar não viverá. Jeú, porém, fazia isto com astúcia, para destruir os adoradores de Baal.

2 Reis 10:19 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 19 Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his
servants, and all his priests, let none be wanting
All that were employed in the several parts of religious worship given him, and in performing any rite and ceremony belonging to it; in invocation of him, and singing praises to him, as the prophets; in offering sacrifices to him, as the priests; or in assisting them in their service, who may be meant by his servants or ministers:

for I have a great sacrifice [to do] to Baal;
by which, though he might mean a sacrifice of his prophets, priests, servants, and worshippers, he would have it otherwise understood, and his design was to deceive, which cannot be justified:

whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live:
but be put to death; this he said, pretending his great zeal for Baal, when his view was by this threatening to get all his worshippers together to destroy them, that none might escape as follows:

but Jehu did it in subtlety, to the intent that he might destroy the
worshippers of Baal:
the Targum renders it, "with wisdom"; but Jarchi and Ben Gersom much better, "in deceit"; the word signifies supplantation, such as Esau charged Jacob with.

2 Reis 10:19 In-Context

17 Quando Jeú chegou a Samária, feriu a todos os que restavam de Acabe em Samária, até os destruir, conforme a palavra que o Senhor dissera a Elias.

18 Depois ajuntou Jeú todo o povo, e disse-lhe: Acabe serviu pouco a Baal; Jeú, porém, muito o servirá.

19 Pelo que chamai agora � minha presença todos os profetas de Baal, todos os seus servos e todos os seus sacerdotes; não falte nenhum, porque tenho um grande sacrifício a fazer a Baal; aquele que faltar não viverá. Jeú, porém, fazia isto com astúcia, para destruir os adoradores de Baal.

20 Disse mais Jeú: Consagrai a Baal uma assembléia solene. E eles a apregoaram.

21 Também Jeú enviou mensageiros por todo o Israel; e vieram todos os adoradores de Baal, de modo que não ficou deles homem algum que não viesse. E entraram na casa de Baal, e encheu-se a casa de Baal, de um lado a outro.
