2 Kings 9:16-20

16So Jehu got on his chariot and drove to Jezreel because Joram was lying in bed there. (King Ahaziah of Judah had come to see Joram.)

17The watchman standing on the tower in Jezreel saw Jehu’s troops coming. He said, “I see some troops.” So Joram said, “Take a chariot driver, send him to meet them, and ask, ‘Is everything alright?’ ”

18So a chariot driver rode off, met Jehu, and said, “The king asks, ‘Is everything alright?’ ” Jehu replied, “Why should that matter to you? Follow me.” So the watchman announced, “The messenger you sent has reached them, but he isn’t coming back.”

19Then Joram sent out a second driver. When he came to them, he said, “The king asks, ‘Is everything alright?’ ” Jehu replied, “Why should that matter to you? Follow me.”

20So the watchman announced, “He has reached them, but he isn’t coming back. The troop’s leader is driving like a lunatic, like Jehu, grandson of Nimshi.”
