So Jehuª slewª°¹ all¹ that remainedª° of the houseª of Ahabª in Jezreel,ª and all¹ his great men,ª and his kinsfolks,ª° and his priests,ª until¹ he leftª° him none¹ remaining.ª" {2Kg 10:10-11} + "And he said,ª° Whether¹ they be come outª° for peace,ª takeª° them alive;ª or whether¹ they be come outª° for war,ª takeª° them alive.ª" {1Kg 20:18}
