The Key Word — עֹבְדֵי, ‘obdeigenerated
The word עָבַד (‘avad) means 'to serve' or 'to work,' and in this context, it specifically refers to those who serve Baal, the Phoenician deity. This participial form indicates ongoing action, showing that these individuals are actively engaged in worship.
The usage of this term highlights the nature of their service, which is not merely labor but a form of religious devotion to a false god. Jehu's command to bring garments for them emphasizes the contrast between the true worship of Yahweh and the idolatrous practices of Baal worship.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb in the verse is וַיֹּ֗אמֶר, vayomer (and he said), which governs the command issued by Jehu. The structure of the sentence reflects a clear directive, with a prepositional phrase identifying the keeper of the wardrobe and an imperative verb phrase indicating the action to be taken.
The command is straightforward, with the verb הוֹצֵ֣א (hotze' — bring out) followed by the noun phrase לְב֔וּשׁ (levush — clothing), emphasizing the action of distributing garments.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew עֹבְדֵי is rendered as δούλοις (doulis — servants), which conveys the same idea of servitude. This choice reflects the translators' understanding of the worshippers as devoted servants of Baal.
The Greek term carries similar connotations of service and subservience, aligning well with the Hebrew context.

The priests of Baal had their robes as well as the priests of the Lord; but the garments were such that one could be easily distinguished from the other.
Read AdamClarke on 2 Kings 10 →CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges22. he said unto him that was over the vestry] The vestry must have belonged to the house of Baal; we cannot suppose that the king’s wardrobe-keeper had a stock of robes to supply such a multitude of worshippers. Probably because of the control which had been exercised there by the house of Ahab, Jehu could give orders in Baal’s temple and have them obeyed. It appears from the narrative that vestments were not used only by the priests, but by all the worshippers as well. Perhaps there was some distinction between the character and material of the robes.

Baal
Lord. (1.) The name appropriated to the principal male god of the Phoenicians. It is found in several places in the plural BAALIM (Judg. 2:11; 10:10; 1 Kings 18:18; Jer. 2:23; Hos. 2:17). Baal is identified with Molech (Jer. 19:5). It was known to the Israelites as Baal-peor (Num. 25:3; Deut. 4:3), was worshipped till the time of Samuel (1 Sam 7:4), and was afterwards the religion of the ten tribes in the time of Ahab (

This word occurs as the prefix or suffix to the names of several places in Palestine, some of which are as follows: BAAL a town of Simeon, named only in (1 Chronicles 4:33) which from the parallel list in (Joshua 19:8) seems to have been identical with BAALATH-BEER.

1. In the Old Testament denotes an idol of the Phoenicians, and particularly of the Tyrians, whose worship was also introduced with great solemnities among the Hebrews, and especially at Samaria, along with that of Astarte, Jud 6:25-32 2Ki 10:18,28. See ASHTORETH, plural ASH’TAROTH. The plural, Baalim, signifies images or statues of Baal, Jud 2:11 10:10. Of the extent to which the worship of this idol was domesticated among the Phoenicians and Carthaginians, we have an evidence in the proper names of persons; as, among the former, Ethbaal, Jerubbaal; and among the latter, Hannibal, Asdrubal, etc. Among the Babylonians, the same idol was worshipped under the name of BEL, which is only another form of the word Baal,
