Then Joram sent out a second messenger on a horse. This man came to Jehu’s group and said, “King Joram says, ‘Peace. [108] ’”
Jehu went back to his king’s officers. One of the officers said to Jehu, “Is everything all right? Why did this crazy man come to you?”
A guard was standing on the tower in Jezreel. He saw Jehu’s large group coming. He said, “I see a large group of people!”
So the messenger rode on a horse to meet Jehu. The messenger said, “King Joram says, ‘Do you come in peace?’”
The guard told Joram, “The second messenger went to the group, but he has not come back yet. There is a man driving his chariot [109] like a mad man. He is driving like Jehu son of Nimshi.”
But the Lord also said,\par “There is no peace for evil people!”\par
