2 Kings 10:2-4

International Standard Version

² “As soon as you receive this letter (since your master’s children are with you, you have chariots and horses there with you, and you are protected by a walled city and weaponry), ³ select the best and most qualified of your master’s sons, set him in place on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s dynasty!”

⁴ But they were too terrified, and so they told one another,^[a] “Look! Two previous kings couldn’t stand up to Jehu, so how can we?”
