When the lookout standing on the tower in Jezreel saw Jehu’s troops approaching, he called out,“ I see some troops coming.”“ Get a horseman,” Joram ordered.“ Send him to meet them and ask,‘ Do you come in peace?’”

Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he saw 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?’”

The watchman on the tower of Jezreel saw Jehu and his company approaching, so he shouted to Joram,“ I see a company of troops coming!”“ Send out a rider to ask if they are coming in peace,” King Joram ordered.

Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel. He saw Jehu’s mob approaching and shouted,“ I see a mob!” Joram responded,“ Choose a rider and send him to meet them and have him ask,‘ Do you come in peace?’”

Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel and he saw the company of Jehu as he came, and he said,“ I see a company.” And Joram said,“ Take a horseman and send him to meet them and have him ask,‘ Is your intention peace?’ ”

Samuel did what the Lord said. He arrived at Bethlehem. The elders of the town met him. They were trembling with fear. They asked,“ Have you come in peace?”

He said,“ As you know, the kingdom belonged to me. The whole nation of Israel thought of me as their king. But now things have changed. The kingdom belongs to my brother. The Lord has given it to him.

The Lord said to me,“ Go. Put a guard on duty on Jerusalem’s walls. Have him report what he sees.Tell him to watch for chariots that are pulled by teams of horses. Tell him to watch for men riding on donkeys or camels. Make sure he stays awake. Make sure he stays wide awake.”“ My master!” the guard shouts back.“ Day after day I stand here on the lookout tower. Every night I stay here on duty.Look! Here comes a man in a chariot! It’s being pulled by a team of horses. He’s calling out the news,‘ Babylon has fallen! It has fallen! All the statues of its gods lie broken in pieces on the ground!’ ”

“ When you enter a house, first say,‘ May this house be blessed with peace.’If someone there works to bring peace, your blessing of peace will rest on them. If not, it will return to you.

“ Son of man, speak to your people. Tell them,‘ Suppose I send enemies against a land. And its people choose one of their men to stand guard.He sees the enemies coming against the land. He blows a trumpet to warn the people.Someone hears the trumpet. But they do not pay any attention to the warning. The enemies come and kill them. Then what happens to them will be their own fault.They heard the sound of the trumpet. But they did not pay any attention to the warning. So what happened to them was their own fault. If they had paid attention, they would have saved themselves.But suppose the guard sees the enemies coming. And he does not blow the trumpet to warn the people. The enemies come and kill one of them. Then their life has been taken away from them because they sinned. But I will hold the guard responsible for their death.’“ Son of man, I have appointed you as a prophet to warn the people of Israel. So listen to my message. Give them a warning from me.Suppose I say to a sinful person,‘ You can be sure that you will die.’ And suppose you do not try to get them to change their ways. Then they will die because they have sinned. And I will hold you responsible for their death.But suppose you do warn that sinful person. You tell them to change their ways. But they do not change. Then they will die because they have sinned. But you will have saved yourself.

So the king sent out a second horseman. When he came to them, he said,“ The king asks,‘ Are you coming in peace?’ ” Jehu replied,“ What do you know about peace? Get in line behind me.”

Jerusalem, I have stationed guards on your walls. They must never be silent day or night. You who call out to the Lord must not give yourselves any rest.

So I tell you today that I am not guilty if any of you don’t believe.I haven’t let anyone keep me from telling you everything God wants you to do.Keep watch over yourselves. Keep watch over all the believers. The Holy Spirit has made you leaders over them. Be shepherds of God’s church. He bought it with his own blood.I know that after I leave, wild wolves will come in among you. They won’t spare any of the sheep.Even men from your own people will rise up and twist the truth. They want to get the believers to follow them.So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning you. Night and day I warned each of you with tears.

Here is a prophecy against Edom that the Lord gave me. Someone is calling out to me from the land of Seir. He says,“ Guard, when will the night be over? Guard, how soon will it end?”The guard answers,“ Morning is coming, but the night will return. If you want to ask again, come back and ask.”

David was sitting in the area between the inner and outer gates of the city. The man on guard duty went up to the roof over the entrance of the gate by the wall. As he looked out, he saw someone running alone.

David left what he had brought with the man who took care of the supplies. He ran to the battle lines and asked his brothers how they were.

The men chose two chariots and their horses. The king sent them out to look for Aram’s army. He commanded the drivers,“ Go and find out what has happened.”

Israel’s prophets are blind. They don’t know the Lord. All of them are like watchdogs that can’t even bark. They just lie around and dream. They love to sleep.

While all of that was taking place, Absalom ran away. The man on guard duty at Jerusalem looked up. He saw many people coming on the road west of him. They were coming down the side of the hill. He went and spoke to the king. He said,“ I see men coming down the road from Horonaim. They are coming down the side of the hill.”
