14 And he said, H559 Take H8610 them alive. H2416 And they took H8610 them alive, H2416 and slew H7819 them at the pit H953 of the shearing house, H1044 even two H8147 and forty H705 men; H376 neither left H7604 he any H376 of them.
Know H3045 now H645 that there shall fall H5307 unto the earth H776 nothing of the word H1697 of the LORD, H3068 which the LORD H3068 spake H1696 concerning the house H1004 of Ahab: H256 for the LORD H3068 hath done H6213 that which he spake H1696 by H3027 his servant H5650 Elijah. H452 So Jehu H3058 slew H5221 all that remained H7604 of the house H1004 of Ahab H256 in Jezreel, H3157 and all his great men, H1419 and his kinsfolks, H3045 and his priests, H3548 until he left H7604 him none remaining.

Commentary on 2 Kings 10 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 10
We have in this chapter,
2Ki 10:1-14
We left Jehu in quiet possession of Jezreel, triumphing over Joram and Jezebel; and we must now attend his further motions. He knew the whole house of Ahab must be cut off, and therefore proceeded in this bloody work, and did not do it deceitfully, or by halves, Jer. 48:10.
2Ki 10:15-28
Jehu, pushing on his work, is here,
2Ki 10:29-36
Here is all the account of the reign of Jehu, though it continued twenty-eight years. The progress of it answered not to the glory of its beginning. We have here,
Lastly, The conclusion of Jehu's reign, v. 34-36. Notice is taken, in general, of his might; but, because he took no heed to serve God, the memorials of his mighty enterprises and achievements are justly buried in oblivion.
