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.
