- Then he wrote a letter to them a second time saying, "If you are on my side, and you will listen to my voice, take the heads of the men, your master's sons, and come to me at Jezreel tomorrow about this time." Now the king's sons, seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who were rearing them.
- When the letter came to them, they took the king's sons and slaughtered them, seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him at Jezreel.
- When the messenger came and told him, saying, "They have brought the heads of the king's sons," he said, "Put them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until morning."
- Now in the morning he went out and stood and said to all the people, "You are innocent; behold, I conspired against my master and killed him, but who killed all these?
- "Know then that there shall fall to the earth nothing of the word of the LORD, which the LORD spoke concerning the house of Ahab, for the LORD has done what He spoke through His servant Elijah."

- 耶戶又給他們寫信說、你們若歸順我、聽從我的話、明日這時候、要將你們主人眾子的首級、帶到耶斯列來見我。那時王的兒子七十人、都住在教養他們那城中的尊貴人家裡。
- 信一到、他們就把王的七十個兒子殺了、將首級裝在筐裡、送到耶斯列耶戶那裡。
- 有使者來告訴耶戶說、他們將王眾子的首級送來了。耶戶說、將首級在城門口堆作兩堆、擱到明日。
- 次日早晨、耶戶出來、站著對眾民說、你們都是公義的.我背叛我主人、將他殺了.這些人卻是誰殺的呢。
- 由此可知、耶和華指著亞哈家所說的話、一句沒有落空.因為耶和華藉他僕人以利亞所說的話、都成就了。
