Context
15lakini Mfalme Yoramu alikuwa amerudishwa Yezreeli ili kujiuguza kutokana na majeraha ambayo Waaramu walimtia katika vita na Hazaeli mfalme wa Aramu.) Yehu akasema, “Kama hii ndiyo nia yenu, msimruhusu hata mmoja kutoroka nje ya mji kwenda kupeleka habari huko Yezreeli.” 16Ndipo Yehu akaingia katika gari lake la vita na kuendesha kwenda Yezreeli, kwa sababu Yoramu alikuwa amepumzika huko, na Ahazia mfalme wa Yuda alikuwa ameenda kumwona. 17Mlinzi aliyesimama juu ya kinara cha Yezreeli alipoona askari wa Yehu wanakuja, akaita akisema, “Naona askari wanakuja.”
Yoramu akaamuru, “Mtwae mpanda farasi umtume akakutane nao na kuuliza, ‘Je, mmekuja kwa amani?’ ” 18Mpanda farasi akaondoka kwenda kukutana na Yehu na kusema, “Hivi ndivyo asemavyo mfalme: ‘Je, mmekuja kwa amani?’ ”
Yehu akamjibu, “Una nini na amani? Unga msafara nyuma yangu.”
Mlinzi akatoa habari, “Mjumbe amewafikia lakini harudi.” 19Basi mfalme akamtuma mpanda farasi wa pili. Wakati alipowafikia akasema, “Hivi ndivyo asemavyo mfalme, ‘Je, mmekuja kwa amani?’ ”
Yehu akajibu, “Una nini na amani? Unga msafara nyuma yangu.”
