Jehu Kills the House of Ahab

10 Since Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria,^(A) Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria to the rulers of Jezreel,^(B) to the elders, and to the guardians of Ahab’s sons,^[a] saying:

² Your master’s sons are with you, and you have chariots, horses, a fortified city, and weaponry, so when this letter^(C) arrives ³ select the most qualified^[b] of your master’s sons, set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.
