2 Kings 10:12-14

10:12 Jehu then left there and set out for Samaria. ¹  While he was traveling through Beth Eked of the Shepherds, 10:13 Jehu encountered ²  the relatives ³  of King Ahaziah of Judah. He asked, “Who are you?” They replied, “We are Ahaziah’s relatives. We have come down to see how ⁴  the king’s sons and the queen mother’s sons are doing.” 10:14 He said, “Capture them alive!” So they captured them alive and then executed all forty-two of them in the cistern at Beth Eked. He left no survivors.
