2 Kings 10:11-17
11So JehuH3058 killedH5221 everyoneH3605 in JezreelH3157 who remainedH7604 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256, as well as allH3605 his great menH1419 and close friendsH3045 and priestsH3548H5704, leavingH7604 him withoutH1115 a single survivorH8300.
12Then Jehu set outH6965H935H1980 toward SamariaH8111H1931. At Beth-ekedH1044 of the ShepherdsH7462, 13JehuH3058 metH4672 some relativesH251 of AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 and askedH559, “WhoH4310 are youH859?”
“We areH587 relativesH251 of AhaziahH274,” they answeredH559, “and we have come downH3381 to greetH7965 the sonsH1121 of the kingH4428 and of the queen motherH1377.”
14Then Jehu orderedH559, “Take themH8610 aliveH2416.” So his men took themH8610 aliveH2416, then slaughtered themH7819 atH413 the wellH953 of Beth-ekedH1044—forty-twoH705H8147 menH376. HeH3808 sparedH7604 noneH376 of them.
15When he leftH1980 thereH8033, he foundH4672 JehonadabH3082 sonH1121 of RechabH7394, who was coming to meet himH7122. Jehu greeted himH1288 and askedH559, “IsH3426H854 your heartH3824 as true to mineH3477 asH834 my heartH3824 isH5973 to yoursH3824?”
“It isH3426!” JehonadabH3082 repliedH559.
“If it is,” said JehuH3426, “giveH5414 meH853 your handH3027.”
So he gave himH5414 his handH3027, and Jehu helped himH5927 intoH413 his chariotH4818H413, 16sayingH559, “ComeH1980 with meH854 and seeH7200 my zealH7068 for the LORDH3068!” So he had him rideH73921 in his chariotH7393.
17When Jehu cameH935 to SamariaH8111, he struck downH5221 everyoneH3605 belonging to AhabH256 who remainedH7604 there, untilH5704 he had destroyed themH8045, according to the wordH1697 thatH834 the LORDH3068 had spokenH1696 toH413 ElijahH452.
