2 Kings 9:18-22

18So there wentH3212 one on horsebackH5483H7392 to meetH7125 him, and saidH559, Thus saithH559 the kingH4428, Is it peaceH7965? And JehuH3058 saidH559, What hast thou to do with peaceH7965? turnH5437 thee behindH310 me. And the watchmanH6822 toldH5046, sayingH559, The messengerH4397 cameH935 to them, but he cometh not againH7725.

19Then he sent outH7971 a secondH8145 on horsebackH5483H7392, which cameH935 to them, and saidH559, Thus saithH559 the kingH4428, Is it peaceH7965? And JehuH3058 answeredH559, What hast thou to do with peaceH7965? turnH5437 thee behindH310 me.

20And the watchmanH6822 toldH5046, sayingH559, He cameH935 even unto them, and cometh not againH7725: and the drivingH4491 is like the drivingH4491 of JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of NimshiH5250; for he drivethH5090 furiouslyH7697.12

21And JoramH3088 saidH559, Make readyH631. And his chariotH7393 was made readyH631. And JoramH3088 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and AhaziahH274 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 went outH3318, eachH376 in his chariotH7393, and they went outH3318 againstH7125 JehuH3058, and metH4672 him in the portionH2513 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158.34

22And it came to pass, when JoramH3088 sawH7200 JehuH3058, that he saidH559, Is it peaceH7965, JehuH3058? And he answeredH559, What peaceH7965, so long asH5704 the whoredomsH2183 of thy motherH517 JezebelH348 and her witchcraftsH3785 are so manyH7227?
