Verse 3 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.
