2 Kings 10:1-7

1Now AhabH256 had seventyH7657 sonsH1121 in SamariaH8111. And JehuH3058 wroteH3789 lettersH5612, and sentH7971 to SamariaH8111, to the princesH8269 of Jizreel, to the eldersH2205, and to Ahab's guardiansH539, sayingH559,

2And nowH6258, when this letterH5612 comesH935 to you, seeing your master's sonsH1121 are with you, and there are with you chariotsH7393, and horsesH5483, and a fortified cityH5892, and armour,

3lookH7200 out the bestH2896 and worthiest of your master's sonsH1121, and setH7760 him on his father's throneH3678, and fightH3898 for your master's houseH1004.

4And they were exceedinglyH3966 afraidH3372, and saidH559, Behold, the twoH8147 kingsH4428 stoodH5975 not before him; and howH349 shall we standH5975?

5And he that was over the houseH1004, and he that was over the cityH5892, and the eldersH2205, and the guardiansH539 sentH7971 to JehuH3058, sayingH559, We are thy servantsH5650, and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not makeH6213 any oneH376 kingH4427; do what is goodH2896 in thy sight.

6And he wroteH3789 a letterH5612 the secondH8145 timeH6256 to them sayingH559, If ye are mine, and will hearken to my voiceH6963, takeH3947 the headsH7218 of the menH376 your master's sonsH1121, and comeH935 to me to Jizreel to-morrow at this timeH6256. Now the king's sonsH1121, seventyH7657 personsH376, were with the greatH1419 menH376 of the cityH5892, who broughtH935 them up.

7And it cameH935 to pass when the letterH5612 cameH935 to them, that they tookH3947 the king's sonsH1121, and slaughteredH7819 seventyH7657 personsH376, and putH7760 their headsH7218 in basketsH1731, and sentH7971 them to him to Jizreel.
