The Wisdom Of Jehu

Jehu, king of Israel assembled all the people ans said to them, " Ahab served Ba'al a little; but Jehu will serve him much more. Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Ba'al, all his worshipers and all his priests; let none be missing, for I have great sacrifice to offer to Ba'al; whoever is missing shall not live." But Jehu did it with cunning in order to destroy the worshipers of Ba'al.
                                       And Jehu ordered, " Sanctify a solemn assembly for Ba'al." So they proclaimed it. And Jehu sent through out all Israel; and all the worshipers of Ba'al came, so that there was not a man left who did not come. And they entered the house of Ba'al, and the house was filled from one end to the other.... Then Jehu went into the house of Ba'al ... and he said to the worshipers of Ba'al, " Search, and see that there is no servant of the LORD here among you, but only the worshipers of Ba'al." Then he went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings.
Now Jehu had stationed eighty men outside, and said," The man who allows any of those whom i give into your hands to escape shall forfeit his life." So as soon as he had made an offering, Jehu said to the guard and to the officers, " Go in and slay them; let not a man escape."
So when they put them to the sword, the guard and the officers cast them out and went into the inner room of the house of Ba'al and they brought out the pillar that was in the house of Ba'al and burned it. And they demolished the pillar of Ba'al, and made it a latrine to this day. Thus, Jehu wiped out Ba'al from Israel.
