Ahab’s Seventy Sons Killed

1 Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote and sent letters to Samaria, to the rulers of1 Jezreel, to the elders, and to those who reared Ahab’s sons, saying: 
2 Now as soon as this letter comes to you, since your master’s sons are with you, and you have chariots and horses, a fortified city also, and weapons,
3 choose the1 best qualified of your master’s sons, set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.  
4 But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, “Look, atwo kings could not stand up to him; how then can we stand?”

2 Kings 10:2

A fenced city also - All here seems to refer to Samaria alone; in it were the magazines and implements of war, etc. No reader need be told that these letters were all ironical. It was the same as if he had said, "Ye have no means of defense; Israel is with me: if you yield not up yourselves and the city, I will put you all to the sword.
