24 And Jeʹhu himself filled his hand with a bow+ and proceeded to shoot Je·hoʹram between the arms, so that the arrow came out at his heart, and he collapsed in his war chariot.+

6 At that he wrote them a second letter, saying: “If YOU belong to me,+ and it is my voice that YOU are obeying, take the heads of the men that are sons+ of YOUR lord and come to me tomorrow at this time at Jezʹre·el.”+

Now the sons of the king, seventy men, were with the distinguished men of the city that were bringing them up.

25 And it came about that as soon as he finished rendering up the burnt offering, Jeʹhu immediately said to the runners and the adjutants: “Come in, strike them down! Do not let a single one go out.”+ And the runners and the adjutants+ began to strike them down with the edge of the sword and to throw them out, and they kept going as far as the city of the house of Baʹal.
