2Now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing your master’s sons with you, and with you chariots and horses, a fenced city also, and armour;
3Look even out the best and meetest of your master’s sons, and set on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.

6Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, If ye mine, and ye will hearken unto my voice, take ye the heads of the men your master’s sons, and come to me to Jezreel by to morrow this time. Now the king’s sons, seventy persons, with the great men of the city, which brought them up.
