2 Kings 9:17-20 The watchman on the tower in Jezreel saw Jehu and his company coming. He said: »I see a company of people.« Joram said: »Send out a horseman to them and let him ask: ‘Do you come in peace?’«

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ The watchman on the tower in Jezreel saw Jehu and his company coming. He said: »I see a company of people.« Joram said: »Send out a horseman to them and let him ask: ‘Do you come in peace?’« ¹⁸ So a horseman went out to them and said: »The king asks: ‘Do you come in peace? ‘« Jehu said: »What have you to do with peace? Follow me.« The watchman reported that the horseman reached the group and was returning. ¹⁹ A second man was sent out on horseback. He approached them and asked the same thing: »Do you come in peace?« Jehu replied: »What have you to do with peace? Follow me.« ²⁰ The watchman reported: »He went up to them and has not come back. The driving is like the driving of Jehu, son of Nimshi, for he is driving violently.«
