And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served
Baalim:
And the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD and served the Baals.
for they
forsook Him and served
Baal and the Ashtoreths.
Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the
Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the
Hivites that dwelt in mount
Lebanon, from mount
Baal-
hermon unto the entering in of
Hamath.
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and
forgat the LORD their God, and served
Baalim and the groves.
So the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD; they
forgot the LORD their God and served the
Baals and the Asherahs.
And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Take thy father’s young
bullock, even the second
bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of
Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the
grove that is by it:
On that very night the LORD said to
Gideon, “Take your father’s young bull and a second bull seven years old,
tear down your father’s altar to
Baal, and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.
And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of
Baal was cast down, and the
grove was cut down that was by it, and the second
bullock was offered upon the altar that was built.
When the men of the city got up in the morning, there was
Baal’s altar
torn down, with the Asherah pole cut down beside it and the second bull offered up on the newly built altar.
Then the men of the city said unto
Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die: because he hath cast down the altar of
Baal, and because he hath cut down the
grove that was by it.
Then the men of the city said to
Joash, “Bring out your son. He must die, because he has
torn down
Baal’s altar and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.”
And
Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye
plead for
Baal? will ye save him? he that will
plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if he be a god, let him
plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar.
But
Joash said to all who stood against him, “Are you
contending for
Baal? Are you trying to save him?
Whoever pleads his case will be put to death by morning! If
Baal is a god, let him
contend for himself with the one who has
torn down his altar.”
Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let
Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar.
So on that day
Gideon was called Jerubbaal, that is to say, “Let
Baal contend with him,” because he had
torn down
Baal’s altar.
And it came to pass, as soon as
Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went a
whoring after
Baalim, and made
Baal-berith their god.
And as soon as
Gideon was dead, the Israelites turned and
prostituted themselves with the
Baals, and they set up
Baal-berith as their god.
So they gave him seventy shekels of silver from the temple of
Baal-berith, with which
Abimelech hired some worthless and
reckless men to follow him.
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD, and served
Baalim, and
Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of
Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and
forsook the LORD, and served not him.
And again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD. They served the
Baals, the Ashtoreths, the gods of
Aram,
Sidon, and Moab, and the gods of the
Ammonites and Philistines. Thus they
forsook the LORD and did not serve Him.
And the children of Israel
cried unto the LORD, saying, We have
sinned against thee, both because we have
forsaken our God, and also served
Baalim.
Then the Israelites
cried out to the LORD, saying, “We have
sinned against You, for we have indeed
forsaken our God and served the
Baals.”
And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in
array at
Baal-tamar: and the liers in wait of Israel came forth out of their places, even out of the meadows of Gibeah.
So all the men of Israel got up from their places and
arrayed themselves at
Baal-tamar, and the Israelites in
ambush charged from their positions west of Gibeah.
Then the children of Israel did put away
Baalim and
Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.
So the Israelites put away the Baals and Ashtoreths and served only the LORD.
And they
cried unto the LORD, and said, We have
sinned, because we have
forsaken the LORD, and have served
Baalim and
Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.
Then they
cried out to the LORD and said, ‘We have
sinned, for we have
forsaken the LORD and served the
Baals and Ashtoreths. Now deliver us from the hands of our enemies, that we may serve You.’
And David came to
Baal-perazim, and David
smote them there, and said, The LORD hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place
Baal-perazim.
So David went to
Baal-perazim, where he defeated the Philistines and said, “Like a
bursting flood, the LORD has
burst out against my enemies before me.” So he called that place
Baal-perazim.
And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the LORD of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims.
And he and all his troops set out for
Baale of Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name— the name of the LORD of Hosts, who is enthroned between the
cherubim that are on it.
And it came to pass after two full years, that
Absalom had sheepshearers in
Baal-hazor, which is beside Ephraim: and

Baal-hazor near Ephraim, he invited all the sons of the king.
and
Baalath, and
Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,
Baalath, and Tamar in the Wilderness of Judah,
And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of
Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife
Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served
Baal, and worshipped him.
And as if it were not enough for him to walk in the sins of
Jeroboam son of Nebat, he even married
Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and he then proceeded to serve and worship
Baal.
And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
First,

Baal in the temple of
Baal that he had built in Samaria.
And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father’s house, in that ye have
forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed
Baalim.
“I have not troubled Israel,”
Elijah replied, “but you and your father’s house have, for you have
forsaken the commandments of the LORD and have followed the
Baals.
Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount
Carmel, and the prophets of
Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at
Jezebel’s table.
Now
summon all Israel to meet me on Mount
Carmel, along with the four hundred and fifty prophets of
Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah who eat at
Jezebel’s table.”
And
Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long
halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if
Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
Then
Elijah approached all the people and said, “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him. But if
Baal is God, follow him.” But the people did not answer a word.
Then said
Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but
Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
Then
Elijah said to the people, “I am the only remaining prophet of the LORD, but
Baal has four hundred and fifty prophets.
Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one
bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other
bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:
Get two bulls for us. Let the prophets of Baal choose one bull for themselves, cut it into pieces, and place it on the wood but not light the fire. And I will prepare the other bull and place it on the wood but not light the fire.
And
Elijah said unto the prophets of
Baal, Choose you one
bullock for
yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under.
Then
Elijah said to the prophets of
Baal, “Since you are so numerous, choose for
yourselves one bull and prepare it first. Then call on the name of your god, but do not light the fire.”
And they took the
bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of
Baal from morning even until
noon, saying, O
Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they
leaped upon the altar which was made.
And they took the bull that was given them, prepared it, and called on the name of
Baal from morning until
noon,
shouting, “O
Baal, answer us!” But there was no sound, and no one answered as they
leaped around the altar they had made.
And
Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of
Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and
Elijah brought them down to the
brook Kishon, and
slew them there.
Then
Elijah ordered them, “Seize the prophets of
Baal! Do not let a single one escape.” So they seized them, and
Elijah brought them down to the
Kishon Valley and slaughtered them there.
Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto
Baal, and every mouth which hath not
kissed him.
Nevertheless, I have reserved seven thousand in Israel—all whose knees have not bowed to
Baal and whose mouths have not
kissed him.”
For he served
Baal, and worshipped him, and
provoked to anger the LORD God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
Ahaziah served and worshiped
Baal,
provoking the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger, just as his father had done.
And
Ahaziah fell down through a
lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go,
enquire of
Baal-
zebub the god of
Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease.
Now
Ahaziah had fallen through the
lattice of his upper room in Samaria and injured himself. So he sent messengers and
instructed them: “Go inquire of
Baal-
zebub, the god of
Ekron, whether I will recover from this injury.”
But the angel of the LORD said to
Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to
enquire of
Baal-
zebub the god of
Ekron?
But the angel of the LORD said to
Elijah the Tishbite, “Go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and ask them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are on your way to inquire of
Baal-
zebub, the god of
Ekron?’
And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to
enquire of
Baal-
zebub the god of
Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
They replied, “A man came up to meet us and said, ‘Go back to the king who sent you and tell him that this is what the LORD says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending these men to inquire of
Baal-
zebub, the god of
Ekron? Therefore you will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.’”
And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD,
Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to
enquire of
Baal-
zebub the god of
Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to
enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
And
Elijah said to King
Ahaziah, “This is what the LORD says: Is there really no God in Israel for you to inquire of His word? Is that why you have sent messengers to inquire of
Baal-
zebub, the god of
Ekron? Therefore you will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.”
And he wrought evil in the sight of the LORD; but not like his father, and like his mother: for he put away the image of Baal that his father had made.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as his father and mother had done. He removed the sacred
pillar of
Baal that his father had made.
And there came a man from
Baal-shalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty
loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the
husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat.
Now a man from
Baal-shalishah came to the man of God with a
sack of twenty
loaves of barley bread from the first ripe grain. “Give it to the people to eat,” said
Elisha.
And
Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them,
Ahab served
Baal a little; but
Jehu shall serve him much.
Then
Jehu brought all the people together and said, “
Ahab served
Baal a little, but
Jehu will serve him a lot.
Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of
Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice to do to
Baal;
whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But
Jehu did it in
subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of
Baal.
Now, therefore,
summon to me all the prophets of
Baal, all his servants, and all his priests. See that no one is missing, for I have a great sacrifice for
Baal.
Whoever is missing will not live.” But
Jehu was acting
deceptively in order to destroy the servants of
Baal.
And
Jehu said,
Proclaim a solemn assembly for
Baal. And they proclaimed it.
And
Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers of
Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of
Baal; and the house of
Baal was full from one end to another.
Then
Jehu sent word throughout Israel, and all the servants of
Baal came; there was not a man who failed to show. They entered the temple of
Baal, and it was filled from end to end.
And he said unto him that was over the
vestry, Bring forth
vestments for all the worshippers of
Baal. And he brought them forth
vestments.
And
Jehu said to the keeper of the
wardrobe, “Bring out garments for all the servants of
Baal.” So he brought out garments for them.
And
Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of
Baal, and said unto the worshippers of
Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshippers of
Baal only.
Next,
Jehu and Jehonadab son of Rechab entered the temple of
Baal, and
Jehu said to the servants of
Baal, “Look around to see that there are no servants of the LORD here among you—only servants of
Baal.”
And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, that
Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, and
slay them; let none come forth. And they
smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of
Baal.
When he had finished making the burnt offering,
Jehu said to the guards and officers, “Go in and kill them. Do not let
anyone out.” So the guards and officers put them to the sword, threw the bodies out, and went into the inner room of the temple of
Baal.
And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal, and burned them.
They brought out the sacred
pillar of the temple of
Baal and burned it.
And they
brake down the image of
Baal, and
brake down the house of
Baal, and made it a draught house unto this day.
They also
demolished the sacred
pillar of
Baal. Then they
tore down the temple of
Baal and made it into a
latrine, which it is to this day.
Thus
Jehu destroyed
Baal out of Israel.
And all the people of the land went into the house of
Baal, and
brake it down; his altars and his images
brake they in pieces thoroughly, and
slew Mattan the priest of
Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the LORD.
So all the people of the land went to the temple of
Baal and
tore it down. They
smashed the altars and idols to pieces, and they killed Mattan the priest of
Baal in front of the altars. And Jehoiada the priest posted guards for the house of the LORD.
And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them
molten images, even two
calves, and made a
grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served
Baal.
They abandoned all the commandments of the LORD their God and made for themselves two cast idols of
calves and an Asherah pole. They bowed down to all the host of heaven and served
Baal.
For he built up again the high places which
Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for
Baal, and made a
grove, as did
Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
For he rebuilt the high places that his father
Hezekiah had destroyed, and he raised up altars for
Baal. He made an Asherah pole, as King
Ahab of Israel had done, and he worshiped and served all the host of heaven.
And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for
Baal, and for the
grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto
Bethel.
Then the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, the priests second in rank, and the doorkeepers to remove from the temple of the LORD all the articles made for
Baal, Asherah, and all the host of heaven. And he burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron and carried their ashes to
Bethel.
And he put down the
idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto
Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
Josiah also did away with the
idolatrous priests ordained by the kings of Judah to burn incense on the high places of the cities of Judah and in the places all around Jerusalem—those who had burned incense to
Baal, to the sun and moon, to the constellations, and to all the host of heaven.

stead.

stead: and the name of his city was Pai; and his wife’s name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.
When
Baal-hanan died,
Hadad reigned in his place. His city was named
Pau, and his wife’s name was Mehetabel daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-zahab.
And all their villages that were round about the same cities, unto
Baal. These were their habitations, and their
genealogy.

Micah his son, Reaiah his son,
Baal his son,
And
Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of
Joel, who dwelt in Aroer, even unto
Nebo and
Baal-meon:
Jeiel the chief,
Zechariah, and
Bela son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of
Joel. They settled in Aroer and as far as
Nebo and
Baal-meon.
And the children of the half tribe of
Manasseh dwelt in the land: they increased from
Bashan unto
Baal-
hermon and Senir, and unto mount
Hermon.

Manasseh were numerous. They settled in the land from
Bashan to
Baal-
hermon (that is, Senir, also known as Mount

And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth between the cherubims, whose name is called on it.
David and all Israel went up to
Baalah of Judah (that is, Kiriath-jearim) to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD, who is enthroned between the
cherubim—the ark that is called by the Name.
So they came up to
Baal-perazim; and David
smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place
Baal-perazim.
So David and his men went up to
Baal-perazim, where he defeated the Philistines and said, “Like a
bursting flood, God has
burst out against my enemies by my hand.” So they called that place
Baal-perazim.
And over the olive trees and the sycomore trees that were in the low plains was

Joash was in charge of the stores of olive oil.
And
Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the
chariot cities, and the cities of the

Baalath, all the store cities that belonged to Solomon, and all the cities for his

And the LORD was with
Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto

Jehoshaphat because he walked in the earlier ways of his father David. He did not seek out the
Baals,
Then all the people went to the house of
Baal, and
brake it down, and
brake his altars and his images in pieces, and
