A messenger came and told him, “They have brought the heads of the king’s sons.”
He said, “Lay them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning.”
In the morning, he went out and stood, and said to all the people, “You are righteous.
Behold, I conspired against my master and killed him, but who killed all these?
Know now that nothing will fall to the earth of the LORD’s word, which the LORD spoke concerning Ahab’s house.
For the LORD has done that which he spoke by his servant Elijah.”
