Athaliah, destroying all the seed royal, save Joash, usurps the kingdom So while Jehu was executing judgment The phrase "executing judgment" in Hebrew is often associated with the idea of carrying out divine justice. Jehu, anointed by God through the prophet Elisha, was fulfilling a divine mandate to eradicate the house of Ahab due to their idolatry and wickedness. This act of judgment underscores the biblical principle that God is sovereign and just, and He uses human agents to accomplish His purposes. Jehu's actions, though violent, were seen as necessary to cleanse Israel from the corruption introduced by Ahab and Jezebel. on the house of Ahab he came across the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s brothers who were serving Ahaziah and he killed them And found.--Rather, he found. The sons of the brethren of Ahaziah.--Comp. 2Kings 10:12-14, where the details are given. The persons whom Jehu slew are there called Ahaziah's "brethren"--i.e., kinsmen (a common use; so LXX. here), and are said to have been forty-two in number.

The "princes of Judah" who accompanied them would naturally be members of the court in charge of them, and are perhaps to be included in the total of forty-two persons.
