## In Jewish tradition

In the story of Jehu, the vestry is the room in Baal's temple where the robes for Baal's worshippers were stored.

**Interpretation.** Jehu used this to tell Baal's worshippers apart from others before he destroyed them, and the tradition sees it as a harsh end to idol worship in Israel.
