2 Kings 9:17
And there stood a watchman on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take an horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace?
KJV
Igitur speculator qui stabat super turrim Jezrahel, vidit globum Jehu venientis, et ait : Video ego globum. Dixitque Joram : Tolle currum, et mitte in occursum eorum, et dicat vadens : Rectene sunt omnia ?
Vulgate
καὶ ὁ σκοπὸς ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὸν πύργον Ἰσραήλ, καὶ εἶδεν τὸν κονιορτὸν Εἰοὺ ἐν τῷ παραγίνεσθαι αὐτόν, καὶ εἶπεν Κονιορτὸν ἐγὼ βλέπω· καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωράμ Λάβε ἐπιβάτην καὶ ἀπόστειλον ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν, καὶ εἰπάτω Ἦ εἰρήνη;
LXX
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. And Joram said, Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace?
