And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaks Ben-hadad, saying, Although I have sent to you, saying, You shall deliver to me your silver, and your gold, and your wives, and your children;
And he that was over the house, and he that 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 shall tell us; we will not make any king: do that which is good in your eyes.
And upon those who are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursues.
Therefore shall you serve your enemies which the LORD shall send against you, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon your neck, until he has destroyed you.
