2 Re 10:1 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 10:1

And Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria
These might not be all his immediate sons, but some of them his grandsons, as such are sometimes called in Scripture:

and Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of
Jezreel;
who fled thither, perhaps on Jehu's coming to Jezreel, having slain Joram, being the metropolis of the kingdom, to consult about a successor, or how to oppose Jehu, and to frustrate his designs: but the Septuagint version is, "to the rulers of Samaria", which seems most likely to be the true reading:

to the elders;
the civil magistrates of the city of Samaria:

and to them that brought up Ahab's children:
who had the care of their education; who either always dwelt at Samaria, being the royal city, or were sent with their charge thither, when Joram went to Ramothgilead, for safety, supposing he should be worsted by the Syrians; or they fled thither with them upon the death of Joram:

saying;
as follows.

2 Re 10:1 In-Context

1 OR vi erano in Samaria settanta figliuoli di Achab. E Iehu scrisse una lettera, e la mandò in Samaria, agli Anziani principali d’Izreel, ed a’ balii de’ figliuoli di Achab, di tal tenore:
2 Ora, come prima questa lettera sarĂ  pervenuta a voi, che avete in man vostra i figliuoli del vostro signore, e i suoi carri, e cavalli, e cittĂ  forte, ed armi,
3 considerate, d’infra i figliuoli del vostro signore, quello che più vi aggraderà, e mettetelo sopra il trono di suo padre, e guerreggiate per la casa del vostro signore.
4 Ma essi ebbero grandissima paura, e dissero: Ecco, due re non hanno potuto contrastargli, e come potremo contrastargli noi?
5 Laonde il mastro del palazzo, e il governatore della città, e gli Anziani, e i balii, mandarono a dire a Iehu: Noi siamo tuoi servitori, e faremo tutto quello che tu ci dirai; noi non faremo re alcuno; fa’ tu ciò che ti piace.
