And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said unto the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshippers of Baal only.

Verse 23 is found in chapter 10 of 2 Kings. Jehu continues his campaign by eliminating relatives and associates connected with Ahab’s house and then focuses his attention on the worship of Baal. He organizes a false religious gathering to assemble Baal worshipers and then orders their destruction. The temple of Baal is demolished and turned into a refuse site. The scene culminates a systematic elimination of the official structure of that worship in Israel. Yet the chapter immediately shows that Jehu’s reform has limits: destroying Baal is not equivalent to fully restoring obedience to the God of Israel.

E Iehu, e Ionadab, figliuolo di Recab, entrarono dentro al tempio di Baal. E Iehu disse a’ ministri di Baal: Ricercate bene, e guardate che talora non vi sia qui fra voi alcuno dei servitori del Signore, ma solo i ministri di Baal.
E entrou Jeú com Jonadabe, filho de Recabe, na casa de Baal, e disse aos servos de Baal: Examinai, e vede bem, que porventura nenhum dos servos do SENHOR aqui haja convosco, senão somente os servos de Baal.
