2 Kings 10:1-3

Revised Geneva Translation

10 Ahab now had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters and sent to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and to the guardians of Ahab’s children, to this effect:

² “Now when this letter comes to you (for you have with you your master’s sons, you have with you both chariots and horses, and a defensed city, and armor),

³ consider which of your master’s sons is best and most fitting, and set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.”
