2 Kings 10:11
Compare all
9 So it was, in the morning, that he went out and stood, and said to all the people, “You are righteous. Indeed aI conspired against my master and killed him; but who killed all these?  
10 Know now that nothing shall afall to the earth of the word of the Lord which the Lord spoke concerning the house of Ahab; for the Lord has done what He spoke bby His servant Elijah.”  
11 So Jehu killed all who remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men and his close acquaintances and his priests, until he left him none remaining.

Ahaziah’s Forty-two Brothers Killed

12 And he arose and departed and went to Samaria. On the way, at1 Beth Eked of the Shepherds,  
13 aJehu met with the brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, “Who are you?” So they answered, “We are the brothers of Ahaziah; we have come down to greet the sons of the king and the sons of the queen mother.”  
14 And he said, “Take them alive!” So they took them alive, and akilled them at the well of Beth Eked, forty-two men; and he left none of them.  

The Rest of Ahab’s Family Killed

15 Now when he departed from there, he1 met aJehonadab the son of bRechab, coming to meet him; and he greeted him and said to him, “Is your heart right, as my heart is toward your heart?” And Jehonadab answered, “It is.” Jehu said, “If it is, cgive me your hand.” So he gave him his hand, and he took him up to him into the chariot.  
16 Then he said, “Come with me, and see my azeal for the Lord.” So they had him ride in his chariot.

2 Kings 10:11

Jehu slew all - So it appears that the great men who had so obsequiously taken off the heads of Ahab' s seventy sons, fell also a sacrifice to the ambition of this incomparably bad man.
