They answered, “We are the brothers of Ahaziah. We are going down to greet the children of the king and the children of the queen.”

12 Then Jehu got up, left the city,[a] and went to Samaria. When he arrived at the shearing house[b] that was located on the way, 13 Jehu met up with the relatives of King Ahaziah of Judah. He asked them, “Who are you?”
They answered, “We’re Ahaziah’s relatives, and we’ve come down to greet the king’s sons and the sons of the queen mother.”
