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 [a]answered, “[b]How is peace any business of yours? Turn and follow me.” 20 And the watchman [c]reported, “He came up to them, but he did not return; and (A)the [d]driving is like the driving of (B)Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives furiously.”

21 Then [e]Joram said, “[f]Get ready.” And they [g]made his chariot ready. (C)Then [h]Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu and found him on the [i](D)property of Naboth the Jezreelite.

19 On envoya un deuxième cavalier qui arriva auprès d’eux et dit : Ainsi parle le roi : « Viens-tu pour la paix ? »

Jéhu répondit : Que t’importe la paix ? Fais demi-tour et passe derrière moi.

20 La sentinelle fit son rapport en disant : Il est arrivé jusqu’à eux, mais il ne revient pas. Le chef de la troupe conduit son char à la manière de Jéhu, petit-fils de Nimshi : il conduit comme un fou.

(2 Ch 22.7-9)

21 Alors Yoram ordonna : Qu’on attelle mon char !

Et l’on attela son char. Yoram, roi d’Israël et Ahazia, roi de Juda, sortirent chacun sur son char pour aller au-devant de Jéhu, ils le rejoignirent dans le champ de Naboth de Jizréel[a].

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(A) that of Jehu son of Nimshi—he drives like a maniac.”

21 “Hitch up my chariot,” Joram ordered. And when it was hitched up, Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah rode out, each in his own chariot, to meet Jehu. They met him at the plot of ground that had belonged to Naboth(B) the Jezreelite.
