2 Kings 10:3-5

International Standard Version

³ select the best and most qualified of your master’s sons, set him in place on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s dynasty!”

⁴ But they were too terrified, and so they told one another,^[a] “Look! Two previous kings couldn’t stand up to Jehu, so how can we?” ⁵ So the household overseer and the city supervisor, along with the elders and the children’s guardians, sent word^[b] to Jehu, telling him, “We will serve you and do everything you ask. We won’t set up a king, so do what you want to do.”
