2 Kings 9:17-21
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.” 20The watchmanH6822 6reportedH5046, “He cameH935 evenH5704 to them, and he did not returnH7725; and 7the drivingH4491 is like the drivingH4491 of 8JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250, for he drivesH5090 furiouslyH7697.”
21Then 9JoramH3088 saidH559, “10GetH631 readyH631.” And they madeH631 his chariotH7393 readyH631. 1112JoramH3088 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 wentH3318 out, eachH376 in his chariotH7393, and they wentH3318 out to meetH7122 JehuH3058 and foundH4672 him in the 1314propertyH2513 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158.
