4 Kings 9:18
So there went one in a chariot to meet him, and said: Thus saith the king: Are all things peaceable? And Jehu said: What hast thou to do with peace? go behind and follow me. And the watchman told, saying: The messenger came to them, but he returneth not.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Abiit ergo qui ascenderat currum, in occursum ejus, et ait : Hæc dicit rex : Pacatane sunt omnia ? Dixitque Jehu : Quid tibi et paci ? transi, et sequere me. Nuntiavit quoque speculator, dicens : Venit nuntius ad eos, et non revertitur.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐπιβάτης ἵππου εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτῶν καὶ εἶπεν Τάδε λέγει ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἦ εἰρήνη; καὶ εἶπεν Εἰού Τί σοι και εἰρήνῃ; ἐπίστρεφε εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω μου. καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν ὁ σκοπὸς λέγων Ἦλθεν ὁ ἄγγελος ἕως αὐτῶν καὶ οὐκ ἀνέστρεψεν.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וַיֵּלֶךְ֩ רֹכֵ֨ב הַסּ֜וּס לִקְרָאת֗וֹ וַיֹּ֨אמֶר֙ כֹּֽה אָמַ֤ר הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ הֲשָׁל֔וֹם וַיֹּ֧אמֶר יֵה֛וּא מַה לְּךָ֥ וּלְשָׁל֖וֹם סֹ֣ב אֶֽל אַחֲרָ֑י וַיַּגֵּ֤ד הַצֹּפֶה֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר בָּֽא הַמַּלְאָ֥ךְ עַד הֵ֖ם וְלֹֽא שָֽׁב
Haydock's commentary
Peace? As this expression sufficiently vindicated the designs of Jehu, he would not suffer the messenger to return before him. (Haydock)
