10 Know, then, that not a single word of Jehovah’s that Jehovah has spoken against the house of Aʹhab will go unfulfilled,*+ and Jehovah has done what he spoke through his servant E·liʹjah.”+ 11 Moreover, Jeʹhu struck down all who were left of the house of Aʹhab in Jezʹre·el, as well as all his distinguished men, his acquaintances, and his priests,+ until he had left him no survivor.+

12 Then he got up and went on his way to Sa·marʹi·a. The binding house* of the shepherds was on the way. 13 There Jeʹhu encountered the brothers of King A·ha·ziʹah+ of Judah, and he said to them, “Who are you?” They said: “We are the brothers of A·ha·ziʹah, and we are on our way down to ask if all is well with the sons of the king and the sons of the queen mother.”* 14 Immediately he said: “Capture them alive!” So they captured them alive and slaughtered them at the cistern of the binding house, 42 men. He did not let a single one of them survive.+
