But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, two kings stood not before him: how then shall we stand?

Verse 4 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.

Sie aber fürchteten sich gar sehr und sprachen: Siehe, zwei Könige konnten ihm nicht widerstehen; wie wollen wir denn stehen?
Mas ellos tuvieron gran temor, y dijeron: He aquí dos reyes no pudieron resistirle, ¿cómo le resistiremos nosotros?
Pero ellos tuvieron muchísimo miedo y dijeron: «Dos reyes no pudieron hacerle frente; ¿cómo podremos nosotros?».
Ils eurent une très grande peur, et ils dirent: Voici, deux rois n'ont pu lui résister; comment résisterions-nous?
Ma essi ebbero grandissima paura, e dissero: Ecco, due re non hanno potuto contrastargli, e come potremo contrastargli noi?
Porém eles temeram muitíssimo, e disseram: Eis que dois reis não puderam resistir a ele; como, pois, poderemos nós resistir-lhe?
他們卻非常懼怕,說:「看哪,兩個王在他面前尚且站立不住,我們怎能站立得住呢?」
