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,

But they were exceedingly
afraid,
and said,
Behold, two

not before
him: how then shall we stand?
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.

Then he wrote
a letter

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.

And it came to pass in the morning,
that he went out,

to all the people,

all these?

So Jehu

and all his great men,
and his kinsfolks,
and his priests,
until he left
him none remaining.

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

And when he was departed
thence, he lighted
on Jehonadab
the son

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.

And he said,

So they made him ride

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.

And Jehu
gathered
all the people
together,
and said
unto them, Ahab
served
Baal
a little;
but Jehu
shall serve
him much.
Now therefore call
unto me all the prophets
of Baal,
all his servants,
and all his priests;
let none
be wanting:
for I have a great
sacrifice
to do to Baal;
whosoever shall be wanting,
he shall not live.
But Jehu
did
it in subtilty,
to the intent that he might destroy
the worshippers
of Baal.

And Jehu

and all the worshippers

came,
so that there was not a man
left
that came
not. And they came
into the house

of Rechab,
into the house

and said
unto the worshippers
of Baal,

And they smote

to the city

And they brought forth

And they brake down

and brake down

Thus Jehu
destroyed
Baal
out of Israel.
Howbeit from the sins
of Jeroboam
the son
of Nebat,
who made Israel
to sin,
Jehu
departed
not from after
them, to wit, the golden
calves
that were in Bethel,
and that were in Dan.

And Jehu
slept
with his fathers:
and they buried
him in Samaria.
And Jehoahaz

in his stead.
And the time
that Jehu
reigned

in Samaria
was twenty
and eight
years.
