2 Kings 9:21-23
International Standard Version
21 Joram replied, “Let’s begin our attack!” As soon as his chariot was prepared, both King Joram of Israel and King Ahaziah of Judah went out, each in his own chariot, to fight against Jehu. They met together in the property that had belonged to Naboth the Jezreelite.[a]
22 As soon as Joram noticed Jehu, he cried out, “Peace, Jehu?”
Jehu[b] replied, “What peace, given[c] your mother Jezebel’s prostitution and all of[d] her witchcraft?”[e]
23 Joram reined his horse[f] around to flee and cried out to Ahaziah, “Ahaziah! Treachery!”
