1 Kings 21:8-11

If ye be mine: Heb. If ye be for me, 2 Kings 9:32, Matthew 12:30, Luke 9:50

your master's sons: Deuteronomy 5:9, Joshua 7:24, Joshua 7:25, Job 21:19, Isaiah 14:21, Isaiah 14:22, Revelation 2:20-23

which brought them up: "The rich," says Mr. Morier, "hire a dedeh, or wet nurse for their children. If a boy, the father appoints a steady man from the age of two years to be his laleh, who, I conjecture, must stand in the same capacity as the bringers up of children mentioned in the catastrophe of Ahab's sons. But if it be a daughter, she has a gees sefeed, or white head, attached to her for the same purpose as the laleh."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then he wrote a letter the second time to them,.... Having gained his point by the former:

saying, if ye be mine, acknowledge yourselves my subjects and servants;

and if ye will hearken to my voice; obey my commands:

take ye the heads of the men your master's sons; that is, take off their heads:

and come to me to Jezreel by tomorrow this time meaning with the heads along with them:

(now the king's sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, which brought them up;) they were in their houses, and under their tuition, and so had an authority over them, and could dispose of them at pleasure; they were not ordinary persons to whose care they were committed, but the principal men of the city.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The heads of rivals, pretenders, and other obnoxious persons are commonly struck off in the East, and conveyed to the chief ruler, in order that he may be positively certified that his enemies have ceased to live. In the Assyrian sculptures we constantly see soldiers conveying heads from place to place, not, however, in baskets, but in their hands, holding the head by the hair.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 10:6. Come to me to Jezreel — Therefore the letters were not written to Jezreel, but from Jezreel to Samaria.
