2 Kings 10:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ And when the letter came to them, they took the king’s sons and killed all seventy people and laid their heads in baskets and sent them to him, to Jezreel.

⁸ Then, a messenger came and told him, saying, “They have brought the heads of the king’s sons.” And he said, “Let them lay them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until morning.”

⁹ And when it was day, he went out and stood and said to all the people, “You are righteous! Behold, I conspired against my master, and killed him. But who killed all these?
