2 Kings 9:18
So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he cometh not again.
KJV
Abiit ergo qui ascenderat currum, in occursum ejus, et ait : Hæc dicit rex : Pacatane sunt omnia ? Dixitque Jehu : Quid tibi et paci ? transi, et sequere me. Nuntiavit quoque speculator, dicens : Venit nuntius ad eos, et non revertitur.
Vulgate
καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἐπιβάτης ἵππου εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτῶν καὶ εἶπεν Τάδε λέγει ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἦ εἰρήνη; καὶ εἶπεν Εἰού Τί σοι και εἰρήνῃ; ἐπίστρεφε εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω μου. καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν ὁ σκοπὸς λέγων Ἦλθεν ὁ ἄγγελος ἕως αὐτῶν καὶ οὐκ ἀνέστρεψεν.
LXX
