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.
