2 Kings 10:17

And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that remained unto
Ahab in Samaria
All that were in any connection with him, as related to his family, or as ministers of his in civil or religious things:

till he had destroyed him;
his whole house, as he was ordered:

according to the word of the Lord, which he spake to Elijah;
which is observed, to show the exact fulfilment of prophecy, see ( 1 Kings 21:21 ) .

2 Kings 10:17 In-Context

15 Jehu departed from there and encountered Rechab's son Jehonadab. Jehu greeted him, and asked, "Are you as committed to me as I am to you?" Jehonadab responded, "Yes, I am." "If so," said Jehu, "then give me your hand." So Jehonadab put out his hand, and Jehu pulled him up into the chariot.

16 Jehu said, "Come with me and see my zeal for the LORD." So Jehu had Jehonadab ride with him in his chariot.

17 When Jehu arrived in Samaria, he killed all those belonging to Ahab who were left in Samaria until they were completely wiped out, in agreement with the LORD's word that was spoken to Elijah.

18 Then Jehu gathered all the people, saying to them, "Ahab served Baal a little. Jehu will serve him a great deal!

19 So invite all of Baal's prophets, all his worshippers, and all his priests to come to me. Don't leave anyone out, because I have a great sacrifice planned for Baal. Anyone who doesn't show up won't survive." But Jehu was lying so that he could wipe out Baal's worshippers.
