2Ki 9:17 | MHM | STEP | v. 17-19 : As Jehu and his men approached Jezreel, a watchman saw them coming and reported it to King Joram. Unsure if they were friends or enemies, Joram sent a messenger to ask, " Is it peace? " Jehu replied, " What do you have to do with peace? Turn and follow me ," and the messenger joined Jehu’s group. A second messenger was sent and received the same response (2 Kings 9:17-19 ). Jehu’s determination and authority were clear, and even the messengers recognized it. The watchman noted that the leader drove furiously, identifying him as Jehu. Jehu’s intense focus and energy made him the right person for this mission, though being known for fury is not always a good reputation.
