2 Kings 10:15-17

Good News Translation

All Remaining Relatives of Ahab Are Killed

¹⁵ Jehu started out again, and on his way he was met by Jonadab son of Rechab. Jehu greeted him and said, “You and I think alike. Will you support me?”

“I will,” Jonadab answered.

“Give me your hand, then,” Jehu replied. They clasped hands, and Jehu helped him up into the chariot, ¹⁶ saying, “Come with me and see for yourself how devoted I am to the Lord.” And they rode on together to Samaria. ¹⁷ When they arrived there, Jehu killed all of Ahab's relatives, not sparing even one. This is what the Lord had told Elijah would happen.
