International Standard Version
2 Kings 10:13-15
International Standard Version
13 Jehu met up with the relatives of King Ahaziah of Judah. He asked them, “Who are you?”
They answered, “We’re Ahaziah’s relatives, and we’ve come down to greet the king’s sons and the sons of the queen mother.”
14 Jehu ordered, “Take them alive!” So Jehu’s soldiers captured them and executed all 42 of them near the pit at the shearing house.[a] He left none of them alive.
15 After he left there, he encountered Rechab’s son Jehonadab. After he greeted him, Jehu[b] asked him, “Is your heart right, as my heart is with yours?”
“It is,” Jehonadab answered.
“If it is,” Jehu replied,[c] “Put out your hand.” So Jehonadab stuck out his hand, and Jehu took him up to stand in his chariot.

New International Version
13 he met some relatives of Ahaziah king of Judah and asked, “Who are you?”
They said, “We are relatives of Ahaziah,(A) and we have come down to greet the families of the king and of the queen mother.(B)”
14 “Take them alive!” he ordered. So they took them alive and slaughtered them by the well of Beth Eked—forty-two of them. He left no survivor.(C)
15 After he left there, he came upon Jehonadab(D) son of Rekab,(E) who was on his way to meet him. Jehu greeted him and said, “Are you in accord with me, as I am with you?”
“I am,” Jehonadab answered.
“If so,” said Jehu, “give me your hand.”(F) So he did, and Jehu helped him up into the chariot.
