ગુજરાતી2 રાજાઓ ૧૦:૫
આથી ઘરના કારભારીએ, નગરના અમલદારોએ, વડીલોએ તથા દીકરાઓના રક્ષકોએ યેહૂને સંદેશો મોકલ્યો કે, “અમે તમારા ચાકરો છીએ. તમે જે કંઈ કહેશો તે અમે કરીશું. અમે કોઈ માણસને રાજા બનાવીશું નહિ. તમારી દ્રષ્ટિમાં જે સારું લાગે તે કરો.”
हिन्दी2 राजाओं १०:५
तब जो राजघराने के काम पर था, और जो नगर के ऊपर था, उन्होंने और पुरनियों और लड़कों के पालनेवालों ने येहू के पास यह कहला भेजा, “हम तेरे दास हैं, जो कुछ तू हम से कहे, उसे हम करेंगे; हम किसी को राजा न बनाएँगे, जो तुझे भाए वही कर।”

In context

3select the best and fittest of your master’s sons, set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.”

4But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, “Behold, the two kings didn’t stand before him! How then shall we stand?”

5He who was over the household, and he who was over the city, the elders also, and those who raised the children, sent to Jehu, saying, “We are your servants, and will do all that you ask us. We will not make any man king. You do that which is good in your eyes.”

6Then 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.

7When 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.
