SCRIPTURE

"look ye out the best and meetest of your master`s sons, and set him on his father`s throne, and fight for your master`s house." — 2 Kings 10:3 (ASV)

Look even out the best and meetest of your master's sons

Most fit for government, whether on account of age or proper qualifications, and wisdom, courage

and set him on his father's throne ;

proclaim him king:

and fight for your master's house ;

that the crown may continue in his family; all which he did not desire might be, but in this sarcastic and sneering manner dares them to do it.
