2 Kings 10:2

Now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing your master's
sons are with you
Sons of Ahab, and some of Joram, and all either the sons or grandsons of Ahab:

and there are with you chariots and horses;
military ones:

as Samaria was, well walled and fortified, and able to hold out a long siege:

and armour;
of all sorts, to arm themselves and people with in their defence.

2 Now as soon as this letter comes to you, unto those who have your master’s sons and who have chariots and horsemen and who have the arms and munitions of the city,

4 But they were exceedingly afraid and said, Behold, two kings could not stand before him; how then shall we stand?

5 And he that was over the house and he that was over the city, the elders also, and those who had brought up the children sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy slaves and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any king; thou shalt do that which is good in thy eyes.
