updv - 2Kings:10:1-17

updv@2Kings:10:1 @ Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters to the rulers of Samaria, to the elders of Jezreel, and to the tutors [appointed by] Ahab, saying,

updv@2Kings:10:2 @ And now as soon as this letter comes to you(note:){+}(:note), seeing your{+} master's sons are with you{+}, and there are with you{+} chariots and horses, and a fortified city, and armor;

updv@2Kings:10:3 @ look(note:){+}(:note) for the best and meet of your{+} master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your{+} master's house.

updv@2Kings:10:4 @ But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Look, the two kings didn't stand before him: how then shall we stand?

updv@2Kings:10:5 @ And he who was over the household, and he who was over the city, the elders also, and those who brought up [the children], sent to Jehu, saying, We are your slaves, and will do all that you will bid us; we will not make any man king: do that which is good in your eyes.

updv@2Kings:10:6 @ Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, If you(note:){+}(:note) are on my side, and if you{+} will listen to my voice, take{+} the heads of the men your{+} master's sons, and come to me to Jezreel by tomorrow this time. Now the king's sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who brought them up.

updv@2Kings:10:7 @ And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and slew them, even seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jezreel.

updv@2Kings:10:8 @ And there came a messenger, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Lay(note:){+}(:note) them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning.

updv@2Kings:10:9 @ And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, You(note:){+}(:note) are righteous: look, I conspired against my master, and slew him; but who struck all these?

updv@2Kings:10:10 @ Now know that nothing will fall to the earth of the word of Yahweh, which Yahweh spoke concerning the house of Ahab: for Yahweh has done that which he spoke by his slave Elijah.

updv@2Kings:10:11 @ So Jehu struck all who remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and those who he knew well, and his priests, until he left him none remaining.

updv@2Kings:10:12 @ And he arose and departed, and went to Samaria. And as he was at the shearing-house of the shepherds in the way,

updv@2Kings:10:13 @ Jehu met with the brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, Who are you(note:){+}(:note)? And they answered, We are the brothers of Ahaziah: and we go down to greet the sons of the king and the sons of the queen.

updv@2Kings:10:14 @ And he said, Take them alive. And they took them alive, and slew them at the pit of the shearing-house, even two and forty men; neither did he leave any of them.

updv@2Kings:10:15 @ And when he had departed from there, he found Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him; and he greeted him, and said to him, Is your heart right, as my heart is with your heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it is, give me your hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.

updv@2Kings:10:16 @ And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for Yahweh. So they made him ride in his chariot.

updv@2Kings:10:17 @ And when he came to Samaria, he struck all who remained to Ahab in Samaria, until he had destroyed him, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke to Elijah.
