2 Kings 9:18-22

18 So a horseman went to meet him and said, “Thus says the king, ‘Is it peace?’” And Jehu said, ^a“What have you to do with peace? Turn behind me.” And the watchman ^{▼▼ Lit told, saying}reported, “The messenger came to them, but he did not return.” 19 Then he sent out a second horseman, who came to them and said, “Thus says the king, ‘Is it peace?’” And Jehu ^{▼▼ Lit said}answered, “What have you to do with peace? Turn behind me.” 20 The watchman ^{▼▼ Lit told, saying}reported, “He came even to them, and he did not return; and ^ethe driving is like the driving of ^fJehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives furiously.”

21 Then ^{▼▼ Heb Jehoram}Joram said, ^{▼▼ Lit Yoke the chariot}“Get ready.” And they made his chariot ready. ^{▼▼ Heb Jehoram
,} ^jJoram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu and found him in the ^{▼▼ Lit portion
,} ^lproperty of Naboth the Jezreelite. 22 When ^{▼▼ Heb Jehoram}Joram saw Jehu, he said, “Is it peace, Jehu?” And he ^{▼▼ Lit said}answered, “What peace, ^oso long as the harlotries of your mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?”
