2 Kings 9:18-22

18So there wentH935 one on horseback to meet him, and saidH559, ThusH3541 saith the kingH4428, Is it peaceH7965? And JehuH3058 saidH559, What hast thou to do with peaceH7965? turnH7725 thee behind me. And the watchmanH6822 toldH5046, sayingH559, The messengerH4397 cameH935 to them, but he cometh not backH7725. 19Then he sentH7971 out a secondH8145 on horseback, who cameH935 to them, and saidH559, ThusH3541 saith the kingH4428, Is it peaceH7965? And JehuH3058 answered, What hast thou to do with peaceH7965? turnH5437 thee behind me. 20And the watchmanH6822 toldH5046, sayingH559, He cameH935 even unto them, and cometh not backH7725: and the driving is like the driving of JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250; for he driveth furiously.

21And Joram saidH559, Make ready. And they made ready his chariotH7393. And Joram kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 wentH3318 out, each in his chariotH7393, and they wentH3318 out to meet JehuH3058, and foundH4672 him in the portionH2513 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158. 22And it came to pass, when Joram sawH7200 JehuH3058, that he saidH559, Is it peaceH7965, JehuH3058? And he answered, What peaceH7965, so long as the whoredoms of thy motherH517 JezebelH348 and her witchcrafts are so manyH7227?
