II RE 10:5

Laonde il mastro del palazzo, e il governatore della città, e gli Anziani, e i balii, mandarono a dire a Iehu: Noi siamo tuoi servitori, e faremo tutto quello che tu ci dirai; noi non faremo re alcuno; fa' tu ciò che ti piace.

And he that was over the house, and he that was over the city, the elders also, and the bringers up of the children, sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any king: do thou that which is good in thine eyes.
