11. So Jehu killed all who remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel — all his great men, close friends, and priests — leaving him no survivors.
12. Then he set out and went on his way to Samaria. On the way, while he was at Beth-eked of the Shepherds,
13. Jehu met the relatives of Ahaziah king of Judah and asked, “Who are you? ”They answered, “We’re Ahaziah’s relatives. We’ve come down to greet the king’s sons and the queen mother’s sons.”
14. Then Jehu ordered, “Take them alive.” So they took them alive and then slaughtered them at the pit of Beth-eked — 42 men. He didn’t spare any of them.
