2 Kings 9:17-19

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁷ And the watchman that stood in the tower in Jezreel spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, “I see a company!” And Jehoram said, “Take a horseman and send to meet them, so that he may say, ‘Is it peace?’”

¹⁸ So, one on horseback went to meet him, and said, “Thus says the king, ‘Is it peace?’” And Jehu said, “What have you to do with peace? Turn behind me.” And the watchman told, saying, “The messenger went to them, but he has not come back.”

¹⁹ Then he sent out another on horseback, who came to them, and said, “Thus says the king, ‘Is it peace?’” And Jehu answered, “What have you to do with peace? Follow me.”
