Jehu entered Jezreel. After he had eaten and drunk, he gave these orders, "Take care of that cursed woman and bury her, for she was a king's daughter." (2 Kings 9, 34)
The seventy sons of Ahab lived in Samaria. So Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria, to the leaders of the city, to the judges and to those who took care of the sons of Ahab, saying, (2 Kings 10, 1)
"As soon as this letter comes to you who have the king's sons, chariots of war and horses, fortified cities and weapons, (2 Kings 10, 2)
select the best and most fit of your master's sons and make him sit on his father's throne; then prepare to defend the family of your lord." (2 Kings 10, 3)
They were in great fear, and they said, "If the two kings were not able to stand up to him, how then can we resist him?" (2 Kings 10, 4)
The palace chamberlain, the military commissioner of the city, the judges and the tutors sent this response to Jehu: "We are your servants, and we will do whatever you say. We will not proclaim anyone king; do whatever seems best to you." (2 Kings 10, 5)
Then he sent them a second letter which said, "If you are on my side and among those who obey me, take the heads of the sons of the king, your lord, and come to talk to me tomorrow at this time in Jezreel." The king's sons were seventy and they were growing up in the houses of prominent families of the city. (2 Kings 10, 6)
The messenger came to where Jehu was and said to him, "Here they send you the heads of the king's sons." He answered, "Lay them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate of Jezreel until tomorrow." (2 Kings 10, 8)

Setting out from there, he met Jehonadab, son of Rechab, who came out to meet him. Jehu greeted him and said, "Would you be faithful to me as I am to you?" Jehonadab answered, "Yes." So Jehu said to him, "Give me your hand." He gave him his hand, and Jehu took him up with him into his chariot, and said, (2 Kings 10, 15)
And he added, "Summon all the prophets of Baal, all his faithful followers and priests. (2 Kings 10, 19)
