2 Kings 9:17-19
New American Standard Bible
17 Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel and he saw the [a]company of Jehu as he came, and he said, “I see a [b]company.” And [c]Joram said, “Take a horseman and send him to meet them and have him [d]ask, ‘Is your intention peace?’” 18 So a horseman went to meet him and said, “This is what the king says: ‘Is your intention peace?’” But Jehu said, “[e](A)How is peace any business of yours? Turn and follow me.” And the watchman [f]reported, “The messenger came to them, but he did not return.” 19 Then he sent a second horseman, and he came to them and said, “This is what the king says: ‘Is your intention peace?’” And Jehu [g]answered, “[h]How is peace any business of yours? Turn and follow me.”
