And Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and to them that brought up Ahab’s children, saying,
Acab tenía setenta hijos que vivían en Samaria. Jehú escribió cartas y las envió a Samaria, dirigiéndolas a los gobernantes de Jezreel, a los ancianos, y a los que criaban a los hijos de Acab. Las cartas decían:
Jehú escribió cartas a los líderes de Samaria donde vivían los setenta hijos de Acab.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the divided kingdom of Israel and Judah, Ahab was a notorious king of Israel who ruled in the 9th century BC and promoted idolatry through his marriage to Jezebel, leading the nation into widespread worship of Baal. After Ahab's death in battle, his seventy sons were being raised and protected in Samaria by officials and guardians, as royal lineages often involved multiple heirs in ancient Near Eastern cultures. This verse introduces Jehu, a military commander anointed by a prophet to seize the throne and eradicate Ahab's family as part of God's judgment on their wickedness.
