About the work

Now there were seventy princes of the royal family left in Samaria, so Jehu wrote to the nobles of the city who were raising the children, saying, “If you’re on my side, bring me the heads of the princes by this time tomorrow.” The nobles killed the boys, put their heads into baskets and sent them to Jehu, who ordered them to be piled in two heaps by the city gate. The next morning he went out and said to the people, “You are fair-minded judges. I may have killed my master, but who put all these to death?” Then he went to Samaria and killed the rest of the royal family, in fulfillment of the word which the Lord had spoken to Elijah. -2 Kings 10
