Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass, when the letter came to them,.... 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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 10:7. Put their heads in baskets — What cold-blooded wretches were the whole of these people!
