Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, If ye be mine, and if ye will hearken unto my voice, take ye the heads of the men your master’s sons, and come to me to Jezreel by to morrow this time. Now the king’s sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, which brought them up.
Entonces les escribió una segunda carta, diciendo: 'Si están de mi parte y me obedecen, tomen las cabezas de los hijos de su señor y tráiganmelas a Jezreel mañana a esta misma hora.' Ahora bien, había setenta hijos del rey que estaban siendo criados por los líderes importantes de la ciudad.
Jehú ordenó a los líderes de la ciudad que mataran a los setenta hijos del rey como prueba de su lealtad.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative, Jehu was a military commander anointed as king of Israel by the prophet Elisha to fulfill God's judgment on the wicked dynasty of Ahab, who had led the nation into idolatry and murder. This letter was part of Jehu's ruthless campaign to eliminate Ahab's descendants and secure his throne, as prophesied, by ordering the elders of Samaria to kill the royal sons. The great men of the city were influential figures responsible for raising these seventy sons, making them complicit in the political power struggles of the time.
