And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came up to them, but hath not turned back. ¹⁹ Then sent he a second horseman, and he came up to them and said, Thus, saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said––What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. ²⁰ And the watchman told, saying, He came up to them, but hath not turned back,––and, the driving, is like the driving of Jehu son of Nimshi; for, with mad haste, doth he drive.
