- Factum est autem, cum completum esset holocaustum, præcepit Jehu militibus et ducibus suis : Ingredimini, et percutite eos : nullus evadat. Percusseruntque eos in ore gladii, et projecerunt milites et duces : et ierunt in civitatem templi Baal,

Haydock's commentary
Soldiers. Hebrew, "runners, (or foot-guards, 3 Kings i. 5,) and chief officers," Exodus xiv. 7.
Out. Hebrew, "cast out" their carcasses, or "rushed out (themselves) into the city," which was styled "the temple of Baal;" or "penetrated into the fortress" and inmost recesses of that structure. (Osiander.)
We read of such a fortress, Judges ix. 46. (Haydock)
In every city where there was a temple of Baal, the fabric and idols were demolished. (Salien)
