2 Kings 9:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 So Jehu got up into a chariot, and went to Jezreel: for Joram lay there, and [a]Ahaziah king of Judah was come down to see Joram.
17 And the watchman that stood in the tower in Jezreel spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. And Jehoram said, Take a horseman and send to meet them, that he may say, Is it peace?
18 So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus saith the King, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? [b]turn behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he cometh not again.
