Follow me.” 20 The watchman reported,“He reached them, but hasn’t started back. The one who drives the lead chariot drives like Jehu son of Nimshi; he drives recklessly.” 21 Jehoram ordered,“Hitch up my chariot.” When his chariot had been hitched up, King Jehoram of Israel and King Ahaziah of Judah went out in their respective chariots to meet Jehu. They met up with him in the plot of land that had once belonged to Naboth of Jezreel. 22 When Jehoram saw Jehu, he asked,“Is everything all right, Jehu?” He replied,“How can everything be all right as long as your mother Jezebel promotes idolatry and pagan practices?”

    18Bathsheba replied,“That’s fine, I’ll speak to the king on your behalf.”
