Turn and follow me.” And the watchman [b]reported, “The messenger came to them, but he did not return.” 19 Then he sent a second horseman, and he came to them and said, “This is what the king says: ‘Is your intention peace?’” And Jehu [c]answered, “[d]How is peace any business of yours? Turn and follow me.” 20 And the watchman [e]reported, “He came up to them, but he did not return; and (B)the [f]driving is like the driving of (C)Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives furiously.”
