SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:24
Y cuando ellos entraron para hacer sacrificios y holocaustos, Jehú puso fuera ochenta varones, y les dijo: Cualquiera que dejare vivo alguno de aquellos hombres que yo he puesto en vuestras manos, su vida será por la del otro.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 24. And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings , etc.] 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-28 - Is thine heart right? This is a question we should often put to ourselves. I make a fair profession, have gained a reputation amon men, but, is my heart right? Am I sincere with God? Jehonadab owne Jehu in the work, both of revenge and of reformation. An upright hear approves itself to God, and seeks no more than his acceptance; but in we aim at the applause of men, we are upon a false foundation. Whethe Jehu looked any further we cannot judge. The law of God was express that idolaters were to be put to death. Thus idolatry was abolished for the present out of Israel. May we desire that it be rooted out of ou hearts.
