  • 10:15 Leaving there, he came upon Jehonadab son of Rechab, who was on his way to meet him. Jehu greeted him and said to him, "Is your heart right with mine, as my heart is with yours?" Jehonadab replied, "It is." "If so," said Jehu, "give me your hand." He gave him his hand, and Jehu took him up into the chariot beside him. 2
  • 10:31 Yet Jehu took no care to walk in the law of the LORD, the God of Israel, with his whole heart. He did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam, by which he led Israel to sin. 2

  • 10:7 When the letter came to them, they took the king's sons, seventy men, and slaughtered them. Then they put the heads in baskets and sent them to Jehu in Jezreel. 1
  • 10:10 Know, then, that not one word that the LORD spoke against the house of Ahab will fail. The LORD has done what he said through his servant Elijah." 1
