2 Kings 10:20 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 10:20

And Jehu said, proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal
Such as with the Jews was an holy convocation, when they were forbidden and restrained from doing any work on that day; and such a day Jehu would have appointed and proclaimed for Baal, that the people might be at leisure to attend:

and they proclaimed it;
according to his order, in Samaria.

2 Kings 10:20 In-Context

18 Yehu gathered all the people together, and said to them, Ach'av served Ba`al a little; but Yehu will serve him much.

19 Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Ba`al, all his worshippers, and all his Kohanim; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice [to do] to Ba`al; whoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Yehu did it in subtlety, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Ba`al.

20 Yehu said, Sanctify a solemn assembly for Ba`al. They proclaimed it.

21 Yehu sent through all Yisra'el: and all the worshippers of Ba`al came, so that there was not a man left that didn't come. They came into the house of Ba`al; and the house of Ba`al was filled from one end to another.

22 He said to him who was over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Ba`al. He brought them forth vestments.
