2 Kings 9:16-20

16Then Jehu rode in a chariot and went to Jezreel, since Joram was lying there recovering. 1And Ahaziah the king of Judah had come down to see Joram.

17Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel and he saw the 2company of Jehu as he came, and he said, “I see a 3company.” And 4Joram said, “Take a horseman and send him to meet them and have him 5ask, ‘Is your intention peace?’” 18So a horseman went to meet him and said, “This is what the king says: ‘Is your intention peace?’” But Jehu said, “67How is peace any business of yours? Turn and follow me.” And the watchman 8reported, “The messenger came to them, but he did not return.” 19Then he sent a second horseman, and he came to them and said, “This is what the king says: ‘Is your intention peace?’” And Jehu 9answered, “10How is peace any business of yours? Turn and follow me.” 20And the watchman 11reported, “He came up to them, but he did not return; and 12the 13driving is like the driving of 14Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives furiously.”
