The letter Jehu writes the second time, and the heads of the king’s seventy sons sent in baskets to Jezreel

예후가 다시 부친 편지와 광주리에 담아 이스르엘로 보낸 왕자 칠십인의 머리

2 Kings 10:6–11: Jehu writes a letter the second time to them, saying, “If you are on my side, and if you will listen to my voice, take the heads of the men who are your master’s sons, and come to me to Jezreel by tomorrow this time.” Now the king’s sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who brought them up. When the letter comes to them, they take the king’s sons and kill them, even seventy people, and put their heads in baskets, and send them to him to Jezreel. The text says, “A messenger came and told him, ‘They have brought the heads of the king’s sons.’ He said, ‘Lay them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning.’ In the morning, he went out and stood, and said to all the people, ‘You are righteous. Behold, I conspired against my master and killed him, but who killed all these? Know now that nothing will fall to the earth of the LORD’s word, which the LORD spoke concerning Ahab’s house. For the LORD has done that which he spoke by his servant Elijah.’” So Jehu strikes all that remained of Ahab’s house in Jezreel, with all his great men, his familiar friends, and his priests, until he left him no one remaining. WEB reads “Then he wrote” at 10:6, where the Korean Revised Version names Jehu (예후가 다시); the Korean Revised Version also names Jehu at 10:7–8 (이스르엘 예후에게로, 예후에게), where WEB reads “to him to Jezreel” and “told him”. Neither edition names who says “Lay them in two heaps” (가로되; “He said”).
