2 Kings 10:1-3

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

10 Ahab had seventy [grandsons] in Samaria. So Jehu wrote letters and sent them from Jezreel to the rulers of Samaria, to the elders, and to those who brought up Ahab’s [grandsons], saying,

² Now as soon as this letter comes to you, seeing your master [Joram’s] sons are with you and also chariots and horses, a fortified city, and weapons,

³ Select the best and most fit of your master’s sons and set him on his father’s throne; and fight for your master’s house.
