2 Kings 10:24
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.
And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings,.... To Baal, all things being ready for them:
Jehu appointed eighty men without; without the temple of Baal, at the several doors and avenues of it:
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; should be put to death for it in his room; the life of a watchman set to guard should go for the life of one that escaped.
