• 1 Kings 2:43

  Why then have you not kept the oath of Yahweh, and the commandment that I have instructed you with?”

• 1 Kings 2:44

  The king said moreover to Shimei, “You know in your heart all the wickedness that you did to David my father. Therefore Yahweh will return your wickedness on your own head.

• 2 Kings 9:26

• 2 Kings 10:6

  Then he wrote 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.

• 2 Kings 10:7

  When the letter came to them, they took the king’s sons and killed them, even seventy people, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jezreel.

  He said, “Take them alive!” They took them alive, and killed them at the pit of the shearing house, even forty-two men. He didn’t leave any of them.

• 2 Kings 10:15

  When he had departed from there, he met Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him.
