2 Kings 10:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ The messenger came to Jehu and told him, “They have brought the heads of the king’s sons.”

Then Jehu said, “·Lay [Pile] the heads in two ·piles [heaps] at the city gate until morning.”

⁹ In the morning, Jehu went out and stood before the people and said to them, “You are innocent. Look, I ·made plans [conspired; plotted] against my ·master [lord] and killed him. But who killed all these [^CJehu might have been blaming the Samaritan officials, or perhaps was implying that God ordered the killing]? ¹⁰ You should know that ·everything [^Lnothing] the Lord said about Ahab’s ·family [^Lhouse] will ·come true [^Lfall to the ground/earth]. The Lord ·has spoken [spoke his word] through his servant Elijah, and the Lord has done what he said.”
