7 When the letter from Jehu[a] arrived, the city leaders arrested the king’s sons, slaughtered all 70 of them, put their heads in baskets, and sent them to Jehu[b] at Jezreel.
8 When the messenger arrived to report to the king, he said, “They have brought the heads of the king’s sons.”
Jehu[c] replied, “Put them in two piles at the entrance of the city gate until morning.” 9 The next morning, Jehu went out, stood still, and announced to all the people: “Are you righteous? I conspired against my master and killed him, but who slaughtered all of these?
