2 KINGS 10:6 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
Now the king's sons, seventy in number, were with the leading men of the city, who were bringing them up. When the letter came to them, they took the king's sons and killed them, seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets and sent them to Jehu in Jezreel — the wholesale slaughter of the Omride succession is executed by the city's leadership. The seventy heads in baskets become tokens of submission to Jehu.
