2 Kings 9:19-21
New English Translation

19 So he sent a second horseman out to them[a] and he said, “This is what the king says, ‘Is everything all right?’”[b] Jehu replied, “None of your business! Follow me.” 20 The watchman reported, “He reached them, but hasn’t started back. The one who drives the lead chariot drives like Jehu son of Nimshi;[c] he drives recklessly.” 21 Joram ordered, “Hitch up my chariot.”[d] When his chariot had been hitched up,[e] King Joram of Israel and King Ahaziah of Judah went out in their respective chariots[f] to meet Jehu. They met up with him[g] in the plot of land that had once belonged to Naboth of Jezreel.
