Kisha Yehu akawaandikia barua ya pili, akisema, “Ikiwa ninyi mko upande wangu na mtanitii mimi, twaeni vichwa vya wana wa bwana wenu, na mnijie huku Yezreeli kesho wakati kama huu.” Wakati huo wana sabini wa mfalme walikuwa wakiishi pamoja na viongozi wa mji wa Samaria, waliokuwa wakiwalea.

2 Kings 10:6 · Berean Standard Bible
Then Jehu wrote them a second letter and said: “If you are on my side, and if you will obey me, then bring the heads of your master’s sons to me at Jezreel by this time tomorrow.” Now the sons of the king, seventy in all, were being brought up by the leading men of the city.
Context
4Lakini wakaogopa sana na kusema, “Ikiwa wafalme wawili hawakuweza kupambana na Yehu, sisi tutawezaje?” 5Basi msimamizi wa jumba la mfalme, mtawala wa mji, na wazee na walezi wakatuma ujumbe huu kwa Yehu: “Sisi tu watumishi wako, na tutafanya kila kitu utakachosema. Hatutamteuwa mtu yeyote kuwa mfalme. Wewe fanya uonalo kuwa ni bora.” 6Kisha Yehu akawaandikia barua ya pili, akisema, “Ikiwa ninyi mko upande wangu na mtanitii mimi, twaeni vichwa vya wana wa bwana wenu, na mnijie huku Yezreeli kesho wakati kama huu.”
Wakati huo wana sabini wa mfalme walikuwa wakiishi pamoja na viongozi wa mji wa Samaria, waliokuwa wakiwalea. 7Hiyo barua ilipowafikia, watu hawa wakawachukua wale wana sabini wa mfalme na kuwachinja wote. Wakaweka vichwa vyao ndani ya makapu na kumpelekea Yehu huko Yezreeli. 8Mjumbe alipofika, akamwambia Yehu, “Wameleta vichwa vya wana wa mfalme.”
Ndipo Yehu akaagiza, “Viwekeni malundo mawili katika ingilio la lango la mji mpaka asubuhi.”
