2 Kings 10:3-5

Common English Bible

³ look for the best and most capable of your master’s sons. Place him on his father’s throne. Then fight for your master’s family.”

⁴ But they were frozen with fear. They said, “Not even two kings could resist him! How can we?” ⁵ So the palace administrator, the mayor, the elders, and the guardians sent a letter back to Jehu that read, “We are your servants. We will do whatever you tell us. We won’t make anyone king. Do whatever seems right to you.”
