13 (A)Jehu [a]encountered the relatives of Ahaziah king of Judah, and he said, “Who are you?” And they [b]answered, “We are the relatives of Ahaziah; and we have come down to greet the sons of the king and the sons of the queen mother.” 14 Then he said, “Take them alive.” So they took them alive, and slaughtered them at the pit of Beth-eked, forty-two men; and he left none of them.

15 Now when he had gone from there, he [c]encountered (B)Jehonadab the son of (C)Rechab coming to meet him; and he [d]greeted him and said to him, “Is your heart right, just as my heart is with your heart?” And Jehonadab [e]answered, “It is.” Jehu said, “If it is, (D)give me your hand.” And he gave him his hand, and he pulled him up to him into the chariot.
