Evangelical Heritage Version

Jehu Kills Ahab’s Family

10 Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria, so Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria, that is, to the officials of Samaria,^[a] the elders, and to the guardians appointed by Ahab, saying, ² “Now, when this letter comes to you, since you have your master’s sons with you and you have chariots, horses, a fortified city, and weapons, ³ choose the best and most upright of your master’s sons and seat him on his father’s throne and fight for your master’s house.”
