And he that was over the household, and he that was over the city, the elders also, and they that brought up the children, sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any man king: do thou that which is good in thine eyes.

So the controller of the king's house, with the ruler of the town, and the responsible men, and those who had the care of Ahab's sons, sent to Jehu, saying, We are your servants and will do all your orders; we will not make any man king; do whatever seems best to you.

Και απεστειλαν προς τον Ιηου ο επιστατης του οικου και ο επιστατης της πολεως και οι πρεσβυτεροι και οι παιδοτροφοι, λεγοντες, Ημεις ειμεθα δουλοι σου και θελομεν καμει παν ο, τι μας ειπης· δεν θελομεν καμει ουδενα βασιλεα· καμε ο, τι ειναι αρεστον εις τους οφθαλμους σου.

And he that was over the house, and he that was over the city, the elders also, and the bringers up of the children, sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any king: do thou that which is good in thine eyes.
