SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:7
Y cuando las letras llegaron a ellos, tomaron a los hijos del rey, y degollaron setenta varones, y pusieron sus cabezas en canastillos, y se las enviaron a Jezreel.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 10:7
Verse 7. Put their heads in baskets] What cold-blooded wretches were the whole of these people!
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 7. And it came to pass, when the letter came to them , etc.] They did not in the least hesitate, but immediately complied with the contents of it: that they took the king’s sons, and slew seventy persons ; which was the whole number of them: and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to Jezreel ; as a present to Jehu, just as they carried the firstfruits, as Abarbinel observes.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-14 - In the most awful events, though attended by the basest crimes of man the truth and justice of God are to be noticed; and he never did no can command any thing unjust or unreasonable. Jehu destroyed all tha remained of the house of Ahab; all who had been partners in his wickedness. When we think upon the sufferings and miseries of mankind when we look forward to the resurrection and last judgment, and thin upon the vast number of the wicked waiting their awful sentence of everlasting fire; when the whole sum of death and misery has bee considered, the solemn question occurs, Who slew all these? The answe is, SIN. Shall we then harbour sin in our bosoms, and seek for happiness from that which is the cause of all misery?
