2 Kings 10:11-13
Living Bible
11 Jehu then killed all the rest of the members of the family of Ahab who were in Jezreel, as well as all of his important officials, personal friends, and private chaplains. Finally, no one was left who had been close to him in any way.[a] 12 Then he set out for Samaria and stayed overnight at a shepherd’s inn along the way. 13 While he was there he met the brothers of King Ahaziah of Judah.
“Who are you?” he asked them.
And they replied, “We are brothers[b] of King Ahaziah. We are going to Samaria to visit the sons of King Ahab and of the Queen Mother, Jezebel.”

- 2 Kings 10:11 no one was left who had been close to him in any way. Apparently Jehu in his zeal exceeded the Lord’s command in this bloodbath, for he was blamed for it by the prophet Hosea (1:4).
- 2 Kings 10:13 brothers, literally, “kinsmen.”
