- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Nuntiavit autem speculator, dicens : Venit usque ad eos, et non revertitur : est autem incessus quasi incessus Jehu filii Namsi, præceps enim graditur.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν ὁ σκοπὸς λέγων Ἦλθεν ἕως αὐτῶν καὶ οὐκ ἀνέστρεψεν· καὶ ὁ ἄγων ἦγεν τὸν Εἰοὺ υἱὸν Ναμεσσείου, ὅτι ἐν παραλλαγῇ ἐγένετο.

Haydock's commentary
Furiously. The Chaldean and Arabic say, "he marcheth slowly." But the whole conduct of Jehu was marked with eagerness and severity, like that of Cato of Utica, (Grotius) and the utmost expedition was requisite.
