And the watchman  told,  saying,  The messenger  came  to them, but he cometh not again.  [19] Then he sent out  a second  on horseback,  which came  to them, and said,  the king,  Is it peace?  And Jehu  answered,  What hast thou to do with peace?  turn  thee behind  me. [20] And the watchman  told,  saying,  He came  even unto them, and cometh not again:  and the driving  of Jehu  the son  of Nimshi;  for he driveth  furiously.  [21] And Joram  said,  Make ready.  And his chariot  was made ready.  And Joram  king  of Israel  and Ahaziah  king  of Judah  went out,  each  in his chariot,  and they went out  against  Jehu,  and met  him in the portion  of Naboth  the Jezreelite.  [22] And it came to pass, when Joram  saw  Jehu,  that he said,  Is it peace,  Jehu?  And he answered,  What peace,  so long as  the whoredoms  of thy mother  Jezebel  and her witchcrafts  are so many?
