Sons of Ahab, and some of Joram, and all either the sons or grandsons of Ahab:

2 And now, when this letter comes to you, seeing your master's sons are with you, and there are with you chariots, and horses, and a fortified city, and armour,

4 And they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, the two kings stood not before him; and how shall we stand?

5 And he that was over the house, and he that was over the city, and the elders, and the guardians sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any one king; do what is good in thy sight.
