19. Formal Translation And now, summon all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests to me. Let no one be missing, for I am preparing a great sacrifice for Baal. Whoever is missing shall not live. But Jehu acted in deception in order to destroy the servants of Baal. |
19. Dynamic Translation Now call together every prophet of Baal, all his worshippers, and every one of his priests—make sure not a single person is absent, because I will offer a great sacrifice to Baal. Anyone who is absent will not survive. But Jehu was using trickery in order to wipe out Baal’s worshippers. |
