So Jehu slew all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his kinsfolks, and his priests, until he left him none remaining.

Verse 11 is found in chapter 10 of 2 Kings. Jehu first confronts Ahab’s descendants and uses a strategy that causes the leaders of the court to surrender the former king’s sons. He then orders their execution and presents their heads as public evidence. The episode forms part of the judgment against the dynasty, but the narrative also shows the harshness of Jehu’s revolution. The text interprets it within the previously announced word against Ahab’s house without turning every method used by Jehu into a general model of conduct. The purge eliminates the family structure supporting the former regime.

Jehú mató a todos los que quedaban de la casa de Acab en Jezreel, a todos sus principales, sus allegados y sus sacerdotes, hasta no dejarle ningún sobreviviente.
Et Jéhu frappa tous ceux qui restaient de la maison d'Achab à Jizreel, tous ses grands, ses familiers et ses ministres, sans en laisser échapper un seul.
Iehu percosse ancora tutti quelli ch’erano rimasti della casa di Achab, in Izreel, e tutti i suoi grandi, e i suoi amici, e i suoi principali ufficiali, fino a non lasciarne alcuno di resto.
Também Jeú feriu a todos os restantes da casa de Acabe em Jizreel, como também a todos os seus grandes, os seus conhecidos e seus sacerdotes, até não deixar nenhum restante.
