10 Now therefore, see that none of the words of the Lord has fallen to the ground, which the Lord spoke over the house of Ahab, and that the Lord has done what he spoke by the hand of his servant Elijah.'
11 And so, Jehu struck down all who had remained from the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his nobles and friends and priests, until no remnant of them was left behind.
12 And he rose up and went to Samaria. And when he had arrived at the shepherds' cabin along the way,
13 he found the brothers of Ahaziah, the king of Judah, and he said to them, 'Who are you?' And they responded, 'We are the brothers of Ahaziah, and we are going down to greet the sons of the king, and the sons of the queen.'
14 And he said, 'Take them alive.' And when they had taken them alive, they cut their throats at the cistern beside the cabin, forty-two men. And he did not leave any of them behind.
