23. Formal Translation Jehu and Jehonadab son of Rechab came to the house of Baal, and he said to the servants of Baal, “Search and see, lest any of the servants of the LORD {Yahweh, Israel’s True King} be here with you, but only the servants of Baal by themselves.” |
23. Dynamic Translation Jehu went into Baal’s temple with Jehonadab son of Rechab, and he told Baal’s attendants, “Search and look, so that none of the servants of the LORD {Yahweh, Israel’s Only Lord} are here with you—only Baal’s servants.” |
