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:

his whole house, as he was ordered:

2 Kings 10:17 In-Context

15 When he left that place, he met Jehonadab, son of Rechab, who was coming to meet him. Jehu greeted him and asked, "Are you as loyal to me as I am to you?" "I am," Jehonadab answered. [So Jehu said,] "If you are, give me your hand." When he gave Jehu his hand, Jehu helped him up into the chariot.

16 Jehu said, "Come with me. See how devoted I am to the LORD." So he had Jehonadab ride on his chariot.

17 When they arrived in Samaria, Jehu killed the rest of Ahab's family, every member who was left in Samaria. He wiped them out, as the LORD had told Elijah.

18 Then Jehu brought all the people together. He said, "Ahab served Baal a little, but Jehu will serve him a lot.

19 Summon all the prophets, servants, and priests of Baal. Make sure no one is missing because I have a great sacrifice to offer Baal. Whoever is missing will not live." (Jehu was deceiving [them]. He actually wanted to destroy those who worshiped Baal.)
