2 Kings 9:17-18 ▼

17 Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel. He saw Jehu’s mob approaching and shouted, “I see a mob! ” Joram responded, “Choose a rider and send him to meet them and have him ask, ‘Do you come in peace? ’ ”

18 So a horseman went to meet Jehu and said, “This is what the king asks: ‘Do you come in peace? ’ ” Jehu replied, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me.” The watchman reported, “The messenger reached them but hasn’t started back.”
