2 Kings 9:15-17

International Children’s Bible

¹⁵ But King Joram had to return to Israel to heal from the injuries the Arameans had given him. He received these injuries when he fought against Hazael king of Aram.

Jehu said, “If you agree with this, don’t let anyone leave the city. They might tell the news in Jezreel.” ¹⁶ Then he got into his chariot and set out for Jezreel. Joram was resting there. And Ahaziah king of Judah had gone down to see him.

¹⁷ The lookout was standing on the watchtower in Jezreel. He saw Jehu’s troops coming. He said, “I see some soldiers!”

Joram said, “Take a horseman and send him to meet them. Tell him to ask, ‘Do you bring good news?’”
