2 Kings 10
And
Ahab
had
seventy
sons
in
Samaria.
And
Jehu
wrote
letters,
and
sent
to
Samaria,
unto
the
rulers
of
Jezreel,
to
the
elders,
and
to
them
that
brought
up
Ahab's
children,
saying,
2 Now
as
soon
as
this
letter
cometh
to
you,
seeing
your
master's
sons
are
with
you,
and
there
are
with
you
chariots
and
horses,
a
fenced
city
also,
and
armour;
3 Look
even
out
the
best
and
meetest
of
your
master's
sons,
and
set
him
on
his
father's
throne,
and
fight
for
your
master's
house.
4 But
they
were
exceedingly
afraid,
and
said,
Behold,
two
kings
stood
not
before
him:
how
then
shall
we
stand?
5 And
he
that
was
over
the
house,
and
he
that
was
over
the
city,
the
elders
also,
and
the
bringers
up
of
the
children,
sent
to
Jehu,
saying,
We
are
thy
servants,
and
will
do
all
that
thou
shalt
bid
us;
we
will
not
make
any
king:
do
thou
that
which
is
good
in
thine
eyes.
6 Then
he
wrote
a
letter
the
second
time
to
them,
saying,
If
ye
be
mine,
and
if
ye
will
hearken
unto
my
voice,
take
ye
the
heads
of
the
men
your
master's
sons,
and
come
to
me
to
Jezreel
by
to
morrow
this
time.
Now
the
king's
sons,
being
seventy
persons,
were
with
the
great
men
of
the
city,
which
brought
them
up.
7 And
it
came
to
pass,
when
the
letter
came
to
them,
that
they
took
the
king's
sons,
and
slew
seventy
persons,
and
put
their
heads
in
baskets,
and
sent
him
them
to
Jezreel.
8 And
there
came
a
messenger,
and
told
him,
saying,
They
have
brought
the
a
heads
of
the
king's
sons.
And
he
said,
Lay
ye
them
in
two
heaps
at
the
entering
in
of
the
gate
until
the
morning.
9 And
it
came
to
pass
in
the
morning,
that
he
went
out,
and
stood,
and
said
to
all
the
people,
Ye
be
righteous:
behold,
I
a
conspired
against
my
master,
and
slew
him:
but
who
slew
all
these?
10 Know
now
that
there
shall
a
fall
unto
the
earth
nothing
of
the
word
of
the
Lord,
which
the
Lord
spake
concerning
the
house
of
Ahab:
for
the
Lord
hath
done
that
which
he
spake
by
his
servant
Elijah.
11 So
a
Jehu
slew
all
that
remained
of
the
house
of
Ahab
in
Jezreel,
and
all
his
great
men,
and
his
kinsfolks,
and
his
priests,
until
he
left
him
none
remaining.
12 And
he
arose
and
departed,
and
came
to
Samaria.
And
as
he
was
at
the
shearing
house
in
the
way,
13 Jehu
met
with
the
brethren
of
Ahaziah
king
of
Judah,
and
said,
Who
are
ye?
And
they
answered,
We
are
the
brethren
of
Ahaziah;
and
we
go
down
to
salute
the
children
of
the
king
and
the
children
of
the
queen.
14 And
he
said,
Take
them
alive.
And
they
took
them
alive,
and
slew
them
at
the
pit
of
the
shearing
house,
even
two
and
forty
men;
neither
left
he
any
of
them.
15 And
when
he
was
departed
thence,
he
lighted
on
a
Jehonadab
the
son
of
b
Rechab
coming
to
meet
him:
and
he
saluted
him,
and
said
to
him,
Is
thine
heart
right,
as
my
heart
is
with
thy
heart?
And
Jehonadab
answered,
It
is.
If
it
be,
give
me
thine
hand.
And
he
gave
him
his
hand;
and
he
took
him
up
to
him
into
the
chariot.
