And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, Jehu appointed fourscore men without, and said, If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him go, his life shall be for the life of him.
Cuando entraron para ofrecer sacrificios y holocaustos, Jehú puso ochenta hombres afuera y dijo: 'Si alguno de los hombres que he puesto bajo su control escapa, el que lo deje ir pagará con su propia vida.'
Jehú amenazó de muerte a sus guardias si dejaban escapar a alguno de los hombres que tenían bajo custodia.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the historical context of ancient Israel, Jehu was a king appointed by God through the prophet Elisha to overthrow the wicked dynasty of Ahab and eradicate the idolatry of Baal, which had led the nation into spiritual corruption. He devised a cunning plan to gather all the prophets and worshippers of Baal under the pretense of a grand sacrifice, aiming to eliminate them as part of God's judgment on their unfaithfulness. In 2 Kings 10:24, Jehu stations guards to ensure none of the Baal worshippers escape during this purge, reflecting the brutal realities of divine enforcement in that era.
