2 Kings 10:12-14

Common English Bible

¹² Next Jehu set out for Samaria. Beth-eked of the Shepherds was on his way. ¹³ There Jehu met up with the brothers of Judah’s King Ahaziah. “Who are you?” he asked.

“We’re Ahaziah’s relatives,” they replied. “We’ve come down for a visit with the king’s sons and the queen mother’s sons.”

¹⁴ Jehu then commanded, “Take them alive!” His soldiers took them alive, then slaughtered them at the well of Beth-eked. There were forty-two of them, but not one was left.
