2 Kings 10:2-6
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 10
2
And now, when this letter comes to you, since your master’s sons are with you, as well as the chariots and horses, and a fortified city and the weapons,
3
select the best and most capable of your master’s sons and seat
him
on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.'
4
But they feared greatly and said, 'Behold, the two kings did not stand
firm
before him; how then can we stand?'
5
And the one who
was
in charge of the household, and the one who
was
in charge of the city, and the elders, and the guardians of
the children,
sent
word
to Jehu, saying, 'We are your servants, and everything that you tell us we will do. We will not appoint any man king; do what is good in your sight.'
6
Then he wrote them a letter a second time, saying, 'If you are on my side, and will listen to my voice, take the heads of the men, your master’s sons, and come to me at Jezreel about this time tomorrow.' Now the king’s sons, seventy men,
were
with the great people of the city,
who
were raising them.
King James Version
Chapter 10
2
Now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing your master's sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, a fenced city also, and armour;
3
Look even out the best and meetest of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house.
4
But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, two kings stood not before him: how then shall we stand?
5
And he that was over the house, and he that was over the city, the elders also, and the bringers up of the children, sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any king: do thou that which is good in thine eyes.
6
Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, If ye be mine, and if ye will hearken unto my voice, take ye the heads of the men your master's sons, and come to me to Jezreel by to morrow this time. Now the king's sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, which brought them up.

Chapter 10
2
Your master’s sons are with you, and you have chariots, horses, a fortified city, and weaponry, so when this letter arrives
3
select the most qualified of your master’s sons, set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.
4
However, they were terrified and reasoned, "Look, two kings couldn’t stand against him; how can we?"
5
So the overseer of the palace, the overseer of the city, the elders, and the guardians sent a message to Jehu: "We are your servants, and we will do whatever you tell us. We will not make anyone king. Do whatever you think is right."
6
Then Jehu wrote them a second letter, saying: If you are on my side, and if you will obey me, bring me the heads of your master’s sons at this time tomorrow at Jezreel. All seventy of the king’s sons were being cared for by the city’s prominent men.

Chapter 10
2
The king’s sons are with you, and you have at your disposal chariots, horses, a fortified city, and weapons. As soon as you receive this letter,
3
select the best qualified of your master’s sons to be your king, and prepare to fight for Ahab’s dynasty.'
4
But they were paralyzed with fear and said, 'We’ve seen that two kings couldn’t stand against this man! What can we do?'
5
So the palace and city administrators, together with the elders and the guardians of the king’s sons, sent this message to Jehu: 'We are your servants and will do anything you tell us. We will not make anyone king; do whatever you think is best.'
6
Jehu responded with a second letter: 'If you are on my side and are going to obey me, bring the heads of your master’s sons to me at Jezreel by this time tomorrow.' Now the seventy sons of the king were being cared for by the leaders of Samaria, where they had been raised since childhood.

2
"Now then, as soon as this letter comes to you, seeing your master 's sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, fortified cities also, and weapons,
3
select the best and fittest of your master 's sons and set him on his father 's throne and fight for your master 's house."
4
But they were exceedingly afraid and said, "Behold, the two kings could not stand before him. How then can we stand?"
5
So he who was over the palace, and he who was over the city, together with the elders and the guardians, sent to Jehu, saying, "We are your servants, and we will do all that you tell us. We will not make anyone king. Do whatever is good in your eyes."
6
Then he wrote to them a second letter, saying, "If you are on my side, and if you are ready to obey me, take the heads of your master 's sons and come to me at Jezreel tomorrow at this time." Now the king 's sons, seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who were bringing them up.

"You have your master’s sons with you and you have chariots and horses, a fortified city and weapons. Now as soon as this letter reaches you,
3
choose the best and most worthy of your master’s sons and set him on his father’s throne. Then fight for your master’s house."
4
But they were terrified and said, "If two kings could not resist him, how can we?"
5
So the palace administrator, the city governor, the elders and the guardians sent this message to Jehu: "We are your servants and we will do anything you say. We will not appoint anyone as king; you do whatever you think best."
6
Then Jehu wrote them a second letter, saying, "If you are on my side and will obey me, take the heads of your master’s sons and come to me in Jezreel by this time tomorrow." Now the royal princes, seventy of them, were with the leading men of the city, who were rearing them.

are
with you, and you have chariots and horses, a fortified city also, and weapons,
3
choose the best qualified of your master’s sons, set
him

in charge of the house, and he who
was
in charge of the city, the elders also, and those who reared
the sons,
sent to Jehu, saying, “We
are
your servants, we will do all you tell us; but we will not make anyone king. Do
what is
good in your sight.”
6
Then he wrote a second letter to them, saying:
If you
are
for me and will obey my voice, take the heads of the men, your master’s sons, and come to me at Jezreel by this time tomorrow.
Now the king’s sons, seventy persons,
were
with the great men of the city,
who
were rearing them.
