2 Kings 9:16-18
New King James Version
16 So Jehu rode in a chariot and went to Jezreel, for Joram was laid up there; (A)and Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram.
17 Now a watchman stood on the tower in Jezreel, and he saw the company of Jehu as he came, and said, “I see a company of men.”
And Joram said, “Get a horseman and send him to meet them, and let him say, [a]‘Is it peace?’ ”
18 So the horseman went to meet him, and said, “Thus says the king: ‘Is it peace?’ ”
And Jehu said, “What have you to do with peace? [b]Turn around and follow me.”
So the watchman reported, saying, “The messenger went to them, but is not coming back.”
