The watchman on the tower in Jezreel sees the company of Jehu, and the two sent on horseback do not come back
이스르엘 망대의 파숫군이 예후의 무리를 보고 말을 타고 간 두 사람이 돌아오지 아니함
2 Kings 9:17–20: the text says, “Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, ‘I see a company.’ Joram said, ‘Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, “Is it peace?”’ So one went on horseback to meet him, and said, ‘the king says, “Is it peace?”’ Jehu said, ‘What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me!’ The watchman said, ‘The messenger came to them, but he isn’t coming back.’ Then he sent out a second on horseback, who came to them and said, ‘The king says, “Is it peace?”’ Jehu answered, ‘What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me!’ The watchman said, ‘He came to them, and isn’t coming back. The driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives furiously.’” The Korean Revised Version names no one who sends the second (다시 한 사람을 말을 태워 보내었더니), and at 9:20 reads 님시의 손자 예후, Jehu the grandson of Nimshi, where WEB reads “Jehu the son of Nimshi”.
