11  So ^aJehu slew all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his kinsfolks, and his priests, until he left him none remaining.

  12  This was the word of the Lord which he spake unto ^aJehu, saying, Thy sons shall sit on the throne of Israel unto the fourth generation. And so it came to pass.

  5  Then the king of ^aAssyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
