Jehu uses this word here to draw the peoples' attention to what he says next. AT: "Listen" or "Hear my words"
but who killed all these?

Possible meanings are 1) AT: "but the men of Samaria are responsible for killing Ahab's 70 descendants" or 2) AT: "but it was Yahweh's will for these men to die" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
