Jehu Kills Ahaziah’s Relatives

¹² Jehu left Jezreel and went to Samaria. On the way, he stopped at a place called Shepherd’s Camp. ¹³ There he met with the relatives of King Ahaziah of Judah. Jehu asked, “Who are you?”

They answered, “We are the relatives of King Ahaziah of Judah. We have come down to visit the king’s children and the queen mother’s^[a] children.”

¹⁴ Then Jehu said, “Take them alive!”

Jehu’s men captured Ahaziah’s relatives alive. There were 42 of them. Jehu killed them at the well near Beth Eked. He did not leave anyone alive.
