2 Kings 9:17-20
New International Version
17 When the lookout(A) standing on the tower in Jezreel saw Jehu’s troops approaching, he called out, “I see some troops coming.”
“Get a horseman,” Joram ordered. “Send him to meet them and ask, ‘Do you come in peace?(B)’”
18 The horseman rode off to meet Jehu and said, “This is what the king says: ‘Do you come in peace?’”
“What do you have to do with peace?” Jehu replied. “Fall in behind me.”
The lookout reported, “The messenger has reached them, but he isn’t coming back.”
19 So the king sent out a second horseman. When he came to them he said, “This is what the king says: ‘Do you come in peace?’”
Jehu replied, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me.”
20 The lookout reported, “He has reached them, but he isn’t coming back either. The driving is like(C) that of Jehu son of Nimshi—he drives like a maniac.”

2 Kings 9:17-20
King James Version
17 And there stood a watchman on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take an horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace?
18 So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he cometh not again.
19 Then he sent out a second on horseback, which came to them, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me.
20 And the watchman told, saying, He came even unto them, and cometh not again: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously.

Palabra de Dios para Todos
17 Un guarda estaba parado en la torre de Jezrel. Cuando vio acercarse al grupo de Jehú, avisó:
—¡Viene mucha gente!
Entonces Jorán dijo:
—Manden a su encuentro un mensajero a caballo para averiguar si vienen en son de paz.
18 Así que el mensajero fue al encuentro de Jehú y le dijo:
—El rey Jorán te pregunta: “¿Vienes en son de paz?”
Jehú le dijo:
—A ti no te concierne si vengo en son de paz. Ven y sígueme.
El guarda le avisó a Jorán:
—El mensajero salió al encuentro del grupo, pero no regresó.
19 Entonces Jorán mandó un segundo mensajero a caballo. Se acercó al grupo de Jehú y les dijo:
—El rey Jorán dice: “Paz”.[a]
Jehú contestó:
—A ti no te concierne si vengo en son de paz. Ven y sígueme.
20 El guarda avisó a Jorán:
—El segundo mensajero no ha vuelto. Hay un hombre manejando un carro como loco, a la manera de Jehú hijo de Nimsi.
