2 Kings 9:21-23

21“Harness!” Joram shouted, and they harnessed his chariot.

Then Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah set out, each in his own chariot, and met Jehu on the property of Naboth the Jezreelite.

22When Joram saw Jehu, he asked, “Have you come in peace, Jehu?”

“How can there be peace,” he replied, “as long as the idolatry1 and witchcraft of your mother Jezebel abound?”

23Joram turned around2 and fled, calling out to Ahaziah, “Treachery, Ahaziah!”
