2 Kings 9:18-20

Expanded Bible

¹⁸ The horseman rode out to meet Jehu, and he said, “This is what the king says: ‘·Is all in order [Do you come in peace; ^LIs it peace]?’”

Jehu said, “·Why bother yourself with order [What is peace to you]? ·Come along [Fall in] behind me.”

The lookout reported, “The messenger reached them, but he is not coming back.”

¹⁹ Then Joram sent out a second horseman. This rider came to Jehu’s group and said, “This is what the king says: ‘·Is all in order [Do you come in peace; ^LIs it peace]?’”

Jehu answered, “·Why bother yourself with order [What is peace to you]? ·Come along [Fall in] behind me.”

²⁰ The lookout reported, “He reached them, but he is not coming back. The man in the chariot is driving like Jehu son of Nimshi. He drives ·as if he were crazy [like a madman/maniac]!”
