And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and slew seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent him them to Jezreel.

Verse 7 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.
