2 Kings 9:16-18

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ So Jehu got up into a chariot and went to Jezreel, for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah, king of Judah, had come down to see Joram.

¹⁷ And the watchman that stood in the tower in Jezreel spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, “I see a company!” And Jehoram said, “Take a horseman and send to meet them, so that he may say, ‘Is it peace?’”

¹⁸ So, one on horseback went to meet him, and said, “Thus says the king, ‘Is it peace?’” And Jehu said, “What have you to do with peace? Turn behind me.” And the watchman told, saying, “The messenger went to them, but he has not come back.”
