9:17 Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel and saw Jehu’s troops approaching. 1 He said, “I see troops!” 2 Jehoram ordered, 3 “Send a rider out to meet them and have him ask, ‘Is everything all right?’” 4 9:18 So the horseman 5 went to meet him and said, “This is what the king says, ‘Is everything all right?’” 6 Jehu replied, “None of your business! 7 Follow me.” The watchman reported, “The messenger reached them, but hasn’t started back.” 9:19 So he sent a second horseman out to them 8 and he said, “This is what the king says, ‘Is everything all right?’” 9 Jehu replied, “None of your business! Follow me.” 9:20 The watchman reported, “He reached them, but hasn’t started back. The one who drives the lead chariot drives like Jehu son of Nimshi; 10 he drives recklessly.”
