ועתה כל־נביאי הבעל כל־עבדיו וכל־כהניו קראו אלי איש אל־יפקד כי זבח גדול לי לבעל כל אשר־יפקד לא יחיה ויהוא עשה בעקבה למען האביד את־עבדי הבעל׃ Strong's Concordance Holman Christian Standard Bible
Now, therefore, summon to me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests. None must be missing, for I have a great sacrifice for Baal. Whoever is missing will not live.” However, Jehu was acting deceptively in order to destroy the servants of Baal.
New American Standard Bible
"Now, summon all the prophets of Baal, all his worshipers and all his priests; let no one be missing, for I have a great sacrifice for Baal; whoever is missing shall not live." But Jehu did it in cunning, so that he might destroy the worshipers of Baal.
King James Bible
Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice [to do] to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did [it] in subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal. |
