2 Kings 9:20

And the watchman told, saying, He came even unto them, and cometh not again: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously.

KJV

Nuntiavit autem speculator, dicens : Venit usque ad eos, et non revertitur : est autem incessus quasi incessus Jehu filii Namsi, præceps enim graditur.

Vulgate

καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν ὁ σκοπὸς λέγων Ἦλθεν ἕως αὐτῶν καὶ οὐκ ἀνέστρεψεν· καὶ ὁ ἄγων ἦγεν τὸν Εἰοὺ υἱὸν Ναμεσσείου, ὅτι ἐν παραλλαγῇ ἐγένετο.

LXX

And the watchman told, saying, He came even unto them, and cometh not back: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously.
