2 Kings 9:17-19

17Now the watchmanH6822 was standingH5975 on the towerH4026 in JezreelH3157 and he sawH7200 the 1companyH8229 of JehuH3058 as he cameH935, and saidH559, “I seeH7200 a 2companyH8229.” And JoramH3088 saidH559, “TakeH3947 a horsemanH7395 and sendH7971 him to meetH7122 them and let him sayH559, ‘Is it peaceH7965?’”

18So a horsemanH7392H5483 wentH1980 to meetH7122 him and saidH559, “ThusH3541 saysH559 the kingH4428, ‘Is it peaceH7965?’” And JehuH3058 saidH559, “3WhatH4100 have you to do with peaceH7965? TurnH5437 behindH413H310 me.” And the watchmanH6822 4reportedH5046, “The messengerH4397 cameH935 to them, but he did not returnH7725.”

19Then he sentH7971 out a secondH8145 horsemanH7392H5483, who cameH935 to them and saidH559, “ThusH3541 saysH559 the kingH4428, ‘Is it peaceH7965?’” And JehuH3058 5answeredH559, “WhatH4100 have you to do with peaceH7965? TurnH5437 behindH413H310 me.”
