And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, and slay them; let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.

Verse 25 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.

Da er nun die Brandopfer vollendet hatte, sprach Jehu zu den Trabanten und Rittern: Geht hinein und schlagt jedermann; laßt niemand herausgehen! Und sie schlugen sie mit der Schärfe des Schwerts. Und die Trabanten und Ritter warfen sie weg und gingen zur Stadt des Hauses Baals
Y después que acabaron ellos de hacer el holocausto, Jehú dijo a los de su guardia y a los capitanes: Entrad, y matadlos; que no escape ninguno. Y los hirieron a cuchillo: y dejáronlos tendidos los de la guardia y los capitanes, y fueron hasta la ciudad del templo de Baal.
Cuando terminó de ofrecer el holocausto, Jehú dijo a los guardias y a los oficiales: «¡Entren y mátenlos! ¡Que no salga nadie!». Los mataron a filo de espada. Los guardias y los oficiales arrojaron los cuerpos y penetraron hasta el recinto del templo de Baal.
Lorsqu'on eut achevé d'offrir les holocaustes, Jéhu dit aux coureurs et aux officiers: Entrez, frappez-les, que pas un ne sorte. Et ils les frappèrent du tranchant de l'épée. Les coureurs et les officiers les jetèrent là, et ils allèrent jusqu'à la ville de la maison de Baal.
E quando quelli ebber finito di far l’olocausto, Iehu disse a’ sergenti, ed a’ capitani: Entrate, percoteteli, non iscampine pur uno. Essi adunque li percossero a fil di spada; e li gittarono via, e andarono nella città del tempio di Baal.
E sucedeu que, acabando de fazer o holocausto, disse Jeú aos da sua guarda e aos capitães: Entrai, feri-os, não escape nenhum. E os feriram ao fio da espada; e os da guarda e os capitães os lançaram fora, e entraram no mais interior da casa de Baal.
耶戶 獻完了燔祭,就對護衛兵和眾軍官說:「進去殺他們,不要讓一人逃脫!」護衛兵和軍官用刀殺了他們,將屍體拋出去,然後進入 巴力 廟的堡壘,
