2 Kings 9:17-20
17Now the watchmanH6822 standingH5975 onH5921 the towerH4026 in JezreelH3157 sawH7200 Jehu’sH3058 troopsH8229 approachingH935, and he called outH559, “IH589 seeH7200 a company ofH8229 troops!”
“ChooseH3947 a riderH7395,” JoramH3088 commandedH559. “Send him outH7971 to meet themH7122 and askH559, ‘Have you come in peaceH7965?’”
18So a horsemanH7392H5483 rode offH1980 to meet JehuH7122 and saidH559, “This is whatH3541 the kingH4428 asksH559: ‘Have you come in peaceH7965?’”
“WhatH4100 do you know about peaceH7965?” JehuH3058 repliedH559. “Fall inH5437H413 behind meH310.”
And the watchmanH6822H559 reportedH5046, “The messengerH4397 reachedH935H5704 themH1992, but he is notH3808 coming backH7725.”
19So the king sent outH7971 a secondH8145 horsemanH7392H5483, who wentH935 to themH413 and saidH559, “This is whatH3541 the kingH4428 asksH559: ‘Have you come in peaceH7965?’”
“WhatH4100 do you know about peaceH7965?” JehuH3058 repliedH559. “Fall inH5437H413 behind meH310.”
20Again the watchmanH6822H559 reportedH5046, “He reachedH935H5704 themH413, but he is notH3808 coming backH7725. And the charioteerH4491 is driving likeH4491 JehuH3058 sonH1121 of NimshiH5250H35881—he is drivingH5090 like a madmanH7697!”
