2 Kings 10:14-16

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁴ Jehu ordered, “Capture them!”

⌞Jehu’s men⌟ captured and slaughtered 42 of them at a cistern near Beth Eked. They didn’t leave any survivors.

¹⁵ When he left that place, he met Jehonadab, son of Rechab, who was coming to meet him. Jehu greeted him and asked, “Are you as loyal to me as I am to you?”

“I am,” Jehonadab answered.

⌞So Jehu said,⌟ “If you are, give me your hand.”

When he gave Jehu his hand, Jehu helped him up into the chariot. ¹⁶ Jehu said, “Come with me. See how devoted I am to the Lord.” So he had Jehonadab ride on his chariot.
