Then [Jehu] wrote to them a second letter, saying, “If you are on my side, and if you are ready to obey me, take the heads of your master's sons and come to me at Jezreel tomorrow at this time.” Now the king's sons, seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who were bringing them up.
2 Kings 10:6
The elders of Samaria were already terrified of Jehu. Giving them only 24 hours to act was a great tactic because it didn't give them time to coordinate and plot against him. It made them parties to his conspiracy and committed them to his side without allowing hesitation.
Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria...
2 Kings 10:1
Seventy was probably not literal, but like saying "a bunch of sons from a bunch of wives", probably somewhere between 50 and 100. Gideon was also said to have seventy sons. See Judges 8:30.
All the persons belonging to Jacob who came into Egypt, who were his own descendants, not including Jacob's sons' wives, were sixty-six persons in all. And the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two. All the persons of the house of Jacob who came into Egypt were seventy.
#genesis 46:26-27 #vayigash
Many more than 70 people came to Egypt with Jacob, but the number 70 was important for prophetic reasons.
Seventy people entered Egypt. Millions left. Seventy entered the upper room. Millions came out. Seventy prophetically represents all nations of Earth, showing the transcendent nature of Israel and #Yeshua's Kingdom.

Miriam, the sister of Aaron and a prophetess, took a timbrel in her hand and led the other women as they danced, also with timbrels in their hands. Miriam sang this song:
Sing to Adonai,
For He has had a glorious victory,
And has thrown the horse and his rider
Into the sea.
When the celebrations were finished, Moses led the people of Israel away from the Red Sea into the wilderness of Shur. For three days they journeyed through the wilderness, but they found no water. At last, the people came to an oasis, but the water was bitter there and they could not drink it. Thus, the oasis was named Marah, which meant {Bitterness.} The people began to turn against Moses. [What shall we drink?] they murmured. Moses cried to Adonai and Adonai showed him a tree and told him to throw it into the bitter water. When Moses did so, the water became good to drink. Adonai gave the people of Israel a Law there at Marah which would prove their devotion to Him. [If you will listen carefully to My Voice and will obey it and will do what is right, I will not let you have the diseases which I sent to the Egyptians, for I am Adonai, Who heals you.] From Marah the people went on to Elim where they found twelve springs and seventy palm trees. There, beside the springs, they set up their camp.
COMMENTARY
MUSIC AND DANCING IN ANCIENT EGYPT
Victory in the final battle with Pharaoh brought the people fresh trust in Adonai and in Moses. And YHVH’s victory brought joy. This joy was expressed in a great song of praise, accompanied by dancing and the music of tambourines. The ancient Egyptians enjoyed listening to music and watching the dance at every possible moment. No important event went on without them; parties, religious rituals and festivals, royal parades, even funerals. The very wealthy owned their own musicians and dancers. Others hired them as needed. Very early Egyptian music was soft and gentle, like a whistled lullaby. But music from other countries like Palestine, Greece and Rome gradually influenced Egypt and their music became more complicated and exciting. Sometimes women musicians wore their hair in long braids with pom-poms at the end. They would move their heads to make the braids sway in time to the music. If the instrument was small enough, some performers played and danced at the same time. Men pretended to be hunters or made fun of women when they danced. But the favourites were dancing Pygmies, small bowlegged dwarf-sized black people captured from Africa. They resembled the Egyptian god Bes, the god of pleasure. A funeral dance was done outside the tomb door. Balancing tall reed crowns on their heads, dancers performed the {muu dance} to honour Osiris, the Egyptian god of the dead and of life after death. Perhaps they thought music would improve life in the underworld for the dead person.

FAITH AND JOY
A SONG BY THE SEA
From Exodus 15
At last, the people of Israel were safely across the Red Sea. The army of Egypt lay dead on the seashore. Then Moses and his people sang this song of praise to Adonai:
I will sing to Adonai
For He has won a glorious victory.
The horse and the rider
He has thrown into the sea.
Adonai is my strength and my song,
And He has become my salvation.
Adonai is my YHVH
And I will praise Him.
He is my father’s YHVH,
And I will give Him great honour.
Adonai is a mighty warrior:
Adonai is His name.
The armies and the chariots of Pharaoh
He has thrown into the sea.
The best of Pharaoh’s officers
Lie buried beneath the waters.
The waves of the sea cover them,
For they have sunk like stones.
Your right hand, O Adonai,
Has glorious Power.
Your right hand, O Adonai,
Has crushed the enemy.
In Your Majestic Greatness
You have overthrown those who rose
against You.
You sent Your wrath,
And it consumed them like stubble.
With a mighty Breath
You parted the waters. They stood up like walls
Which held back the divided waters.
The enemy said,
[I will pursue!
I will overtake!
I will divide the goods
And I will be satisfied.
I will draw my sword
And destroy these people.]
But with a mighty Breath
You brought the waters together.
The sea tumbled over them
And they sank beneath its waves.
Which god can compare with You?
Which god has such majestic holiness,
And can perform such awesome deeds,
such wonderful miracles?
When You stretched out Your right hand,
The earth swallowed the enemy.
In Your mercy You have led the people
Whom You have redeemed.
You have guided them in Your strength
To Your sacred home.
The nations heard the news,
And they trembled.
The Philistines fear;
The rulers of Edom are in awe;
The great men of Moab shake;
The Canaanites melt away.
A dreadful fear shall come upon them,
And because of Your Power
They will stand still in terror
Until the people You purchased
Pass by them safely.
You will bring Your people
To the mountain of Your heritage,
In Your land, O Adonai,
Which You made for Your home,
In the sanctuary which Your hands established.
Adonai shall rule
Forever and ever.
For the horses of Pharaoh,
His horsemen and his chariots
Went into the sea.
And Adonai brought the waters upon them
While the people of Israel
Walked safely through on dry land.
A great word for all believers from Steve Moutria of Torah Family...
