2 Kings 10:1-3 ▼

1 Now Ahab (father's brother) had seventy sons in Samaria (watch mountain). So Jehu (YHWH is He) wrote letters and sent them to Samaria to the officials of Jezreel [officials of the city], to the elders, and to the guardians of the sons of Ahab, saying:

2 “When this letter arrives, since your⁺ master’s sons are with you⁺ and you⁺ have chariots and horses, a fortified city and weaponry,

3 select the best and most worthy son of your⁺ master, set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your⁺ master’s house.”
