2 Reyes 10:19

19 Llamad ahora a todos los profetas de Baal, a todos sus adoradores y a todos sus sacerdotes; que no falte ninguno, porque tengo un gran sacrificio para Baal; todo el que falte no vivirá. Pero Jehú lo hizo con astucia para poder destruir a los adoradores de Baal.

2 Reyes 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 Reyes 10:19 In-Context

17 Y cuando llegó a Samaria, mató a todos los que quedaban de Acab en Samaria, hasta que los destruyó, conforme a la palabra que el SEÑOR había hablado a Elías.
18 Entonces Jehú reunió a todo el pueblo, y les dijo: Acab sirvió a Baal un poco, Jehú lo servirá mucho.
19 Llamad ahora a todos los profetas de Baal, a todos sus adoradores y a todos sus sacerdotes; que no falte ninguno, porque tengo un gran sacrificio para Baal; todo el que falte no vivirá. Pero Jehú lo hizo con astucia para poder destruir a los adoradores de Baal.
20 Y Jehú dijo: Santificad una asamblea solemne para Baal. Y ellos la convocaron.
21 Entonces Jehú envió aviso por todo Israel y vinieron todos los adoradores de Baal, y no quedó ninguno que no viniera. Y cuando entraron en la casa de Baal, la casa de Baal se llenó de un extremo al otro.
