18 Foi pois o cavaleiro a reconhecê-los, e disse: O rei diz assim: Há paz? E Jeú lhe disse: Que tens tu que ver com a paz? Sai da minha frente. O atalaia deu logo aviso, dizendo: O mensageiro chegou até eles, e não volta.
19 Então enviou outro cavaleiro, o qual chegando a eles, disse: O rei diz assim: Há paz? E Jeú respondeu: Que tens tu que ver com a paz? Sai da minha frente.
