2 Kings 9:17-20

17Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel and he saw the 1company of Jehu as he came, and said, “I see a 2company.” And Joram said, “Take a horseman and send him to meet them and let him say, ‘Is it peace?’” 18So a horseman went to meet him and said, “Thus says the king, ‘Is it peace?’” And Jehu said, “3What have you to do with peace? Turn behind me.” And the watchman 4reported, “The messenger came to them, but he did not return.” 19Then he sent out a second horseman, who came to them and said, “Thus says the king, ‘Is it peace?’” And Jehu 5answered, “What have you to do with peace? Turn behind me.” 20The watchman 6reported, “He came even to them, and he did not return; and 7the driving is like the driving of 8Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives furiously.”
