2 Kings 9:18-20

Living Bible

¹⁸ So a soldier rode out to meet Jehu.

“The king wants to know whether you are friend or foe,” he demanded. “Do you come in peace?”

Jehu replied, “What do you know about peace? Get behind me!”

The watchman called out to the king that the messenger had met them but was not returning. ¹⁹ So the king sent out a second rider. He rode up to them and demanded in the name of the king to know whether their intentions were friendly or not.

Jehu answered, “What do you know about friendliness? Get behind me!”

²⁰ “He isn’t returning either!” the watchman exclaimed. “It must be Jehu, for he is driving so furiously.”
