2 Reis 9:17 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 9:17

And there stood a watchman on the tower of Jezreel
Who could see afar off when an enemy was coming, and his business was to give notice of it; and especially he was now on his watch tower, because the king was there, and this was necessary for his safety: and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a
company;
a troop of soldiers, though he did not know who they were, and to whom they belonged, whether they were Syrians or Israelites; which was reported to the king: and Joram said, take an horseman, and send to meet them, and let him
say, is it peace?
he might fear some ill had befallen his army at Ramothgilead, and the Syrians had got the advantage of them; or they had made an irruption into his country, and were coming to attack him at Jezreel; or there was an insurrection among his own people.

2 Reis 9:17 In-Context

15 O rei JorĂŁo tinha voltado a Jezreel para recuperar-se dos ferimentos sofridos na batalha contra Hazael, rei da SĂ­ria. JeĂș propĂŽs: “Se vocĂȘs me apoiam, nĂŁo deixem ninguĂ©m sair escondido da cidade para nos denunciar em Jezreel”.
16 EntĂŁo ele subiu em seu carro e foi para Jezreel, porque JorĂŁo estava lĂĄ se recuperando; e Acazias, rei de JudĂĄ, tinha ido visitĂĄ-lo.
17 Quando a sentinela que estava na torre de vigia de Jezreel percebeu a tropa de JeĂș se aproximando, gritou: “Estou vendo uma tropa!”JorĂŁo ordenou: “Envie um cavaleiro ao encontro deles para perguntar se eles vĂȘm em paz”.
18 O cavaleiro foi ao encontro de JeĂș e disse: “O rei pergunta: ‘VocĂȘs vĂȘm em paz?’ ”JeĂș respondeu: “NĂŁo me venha falar em paz. Saia da minha frente”.A sentinela relatou: “O mensageiro chegou a eles, mas nĂŁo estĂĄ voltando”.
19 EntĂŁo o rei enviou um segundo cavaleiro. Quando chegou a eles disse: “O rei pergunta: ‘VocĂȘs vĂȘm em paz?’ ”JeĂș respondeu: “NĂŁo me venha falar em paz. Saia da minha frente”.
