SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:18
Fue, pues , el de a caballo a reconocerlos, y dijo: El rey dice así: ¿Hay paz? Y Jehú le dijo: ¿Qué tienes tú que ver con la paz? Vuélvete tras mí. El atalaya dio luego aviso, diciendo: El mensajero llegó hasta ellos, y no vuelve.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 9:18
Verse 18. What hast thou to do with peace?] "What is it to thee whether there be peace or war? Join my company, and fall into the rear."
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, thus saith the king, is it peace ? etc.] Are things well in the army, or any disturbance in the kingdom? are you come as friends or enemies? and Jehu said, what hast thou to do with peace ? or to ask such a question: turn thee behind me ; which he was obliged to do, Jehu having such a company of soldiers with him; and this he did, that he might carry no tidings to Joram, that he might not know as yet who he and his company were: and the watchman told, saying, the messenger came to them, but he cometh not again ; of this he sent word to the king what he had observed.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 16-29 - Jehu was a man of eager spirit. The wisdom of God is seen in the choic of those employed in his work. But it is not for any man's reputatio to be known by his fury. He that has rule over his own spirit, is better than the mighty. Joram met Jehu in the portion of Naboth. The circumstances of events are sometimes ordered by Divine Providence to make the punishment answer to the sin, as face answers to face in glass. The way of sin can never be the way of peace, Isa 57:21. What peace can sinners have with God? No peace so long as sin is persiste in; but when it is repented of and forsaken, there is peace. Joram die as a criminal, under the sentence of the law. Ahaziah was joined with the house of Ahab. He was one of them; he had made himself so by sin It is dangerous to join evil-doers; we shall be entangled in guilt an misery by it.
