2 Kings 10:6-10
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 10
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.
7
When the letter came to them, they took the king’s sons and slaughtered
them,
seventy men, and put their heads in baskets, and sent
them
to him at Jezreel.
8
When the messenger came and informed him, saying, 'They have brought the heads of the king’s sons,' he said, 'Put them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until morning.'
9
Now in the morning he went out and stood and said to all the people, 'You are innocent; behold, I conspired against my master and killed him, but who killed all these?
10
Know then that nothing of the word of the
Lord
, which the
Lord
spoke concerning the house of Ahab, shall fall to the earth, for the
Lord
has done what He spoke through His servant Elijah.'
King James Version
Chapter 10
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.
7
And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and slew seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent him them to Jezreel.
8
And there came a messenger, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Lay ye them in two heaps at the entering in of the gate until the morning.
9
And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, Ye be righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him: but who slew all these?
10
Know now that there shall fall unto the earth nothing of the word of the
Lord
, which the
Lord
spake concerning the house of Ahab: for the
Lord
hath done that which he spake by his servant Elijah.

Chapter 10
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.
7
When the letter came to them, they took the king’s sons and slaughtered all seventy, put their heads in baskets, and sent them to Jehu at Jezreel.
8
When the messenger came and told him, "They have brought the heads of the king’s sons," the king said, "Pile them in two heaps at the entrance of the city gate until morning."
9
The next morning when he went out and stood at the gate, he said to all the people, "You are innocent. It was I who conspired against my master and killed him. But who struck down all these?
10
Know, then, that not a word the
Lord
spoke against the house of Ahab will fail, for the
Lord
has done what he promised through his servant Elijah."
New Living Translation
Chapter 10
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.
7
When the letter arrived, the leaders killed all seventy of the king’s sons. They placed their heads in baskets and presented them to Jehu at Jezreel.
8
A messenger went to Jehu and said, 'They have brought the heads of the king’s sons.' So Jehu ordered, 'Pile them in two heaps at the entrance of the city gate, and leave them there until morning.'
9
In the morning he went out and spoke to the crowd that had gathered around them. 'You are not to blame,' he told them. 'I am the one who conspired against my master and killed him. But who killed all these?
10
You can be sure that the message of the
Lord
that was spoken concerning Ahab’s family will not fail. The
Lord
declared through his servant Elijah that this would happen.'

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.
7
When the letter arrived, these men took the princes and slaughtered all seventy of them. They put their heads in baskets and sent them to Jehu in Jezreel.
8
When the messenger arrived, he told Jehu, "They have brought the heads of the princes." Then Jehu ordered, "Put them in two piles at the entrance of the city gate until morning."
9
The next morning Jehu went out. He stood before all the people and said, "You are innocent. It was I who conspired against my master and killed him, but who killed all these?
10
Know, then, that not a word the
Lord
has spoken against the house of Ahab will fail. The
Lord
has done what he announced through his servant Elijah."

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.
7
So it was, when the letter came to them, that they took the king’s sons and slaughtered seventy persons, put their heads in baskets and sent
them
to him at Jezreel.
8
Then a messenger came and told him, saying, “They have brought the heads of the king’s sons.” And he said, “Lay them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until morning.”
9
So it was, in the morning, that he went out and stood, and said to all the people, “You
are
righteous. Indeed I conspired against my master and killed him; but who killed all these?
10
Know now that nothing shall fall to the earth of the word of the
Lord
which the
Lord
spoke concerning the house of Ahab; for the
Lord
has done what He spoke by His servant Elijah.”
