12:010:006 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.

12:010:007 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.

12:010:008 And there came a messenger, and told him, saying, They have
           brought the 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.

12:010:009 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
           conspired against my master, and slew him:  but who slew all
           these?

12:010:010 Know now that there shall 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.

12:010:011 So 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.

12:010:012 And he arose and departed, and came to Samaria.  And as he was
           at the shearing house in the way,

12:010:013 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.

12:010:014 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.

12:010:015 And when he was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the
           son of 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.

12:010:016 And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for the lord.  So
           they made him ride in his chariot.

12:010:017 And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that remained unto
           Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the
           saying of the lord, which he spake to Elijah.
