So the king went out and took his seat at the town gate, and as the news spread throughout the town that he was there, everyone went to him. Meanwhile, the Israelites who had supported Absalom fled to their homes.

“ If you think that’s the best plan, I’ll do it,” the king answered. So he stood alongside the gate of the town as all the troops marched out in groups of hundreds and of thousands.

Eli was waiting beside the road to hear the news of the battle, for his heart trembled for the safety of the Ark of God. When the messenger arrived and told what had happened, an outcry resounded throughout the town.

This message came to me concerning Edom: Someone from Edom keeps calling to me,“ Watchman, how much longer until morning? When will the night be over?”The watchman replies,“ Morning is coming, but night will soon return. If you wish to ask again, then come back and ask.”

Meanwhile, the Lord said to me,“ Put a watchman on the city wall. Let him shout out what he sees.He should look for chariots drawn by pairs of horses, and for riders on donkeys and camels. Let the watchman be fully alert.”Then the watchman called out,“ Day after day I have stood on the watchtower, my lord. Night after night I have remained at my post.Now at last— look! Here comes a man in a chariot with a pair of horses!” Then the watchman said,“ Babylon is fallen, fallen! All the idols of Babylon lie broken on the ground!”

Meanwhile Absalom escaped. Then the watchman on the Jerusalem wall saw a great crowd coming down the hill on the road from the west. He ran to tell the king,“ I see a crowd of people coming from the Horonaim road along the side of the hill.”

“ Son of man, give your people this message:‘ When I bring an army against a country, the people of that land choose one of their own to be a watchman.When the watchman sees the enemy coming, he sounds the alarm to warn the people.Then if those who hear the alarm refuse to take action, it is their own fault if they die.They heard the alarm but ignored it, so the responsibility is theirs. If they had listened to the warning, they could have saved their lives.But if the watchman sees the enemy coming and doesn’t sound the alarm to warn the people, he is responsible for their captivity. They will die in their sins, but I will hold the watchman responsible for their deaths.’“ Now, son of man, I am making you a watchman for the people of Israel. Therefore, listen to what I say and warn them for me.

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.So a horseman went out to meet Jehu and said,“ The king wants to know if you are coming in peace.” Jehu replied,“ What do you know about peace? Fall in behind me!” The watchman called out to the king,“ The messenger has met them, but he’s not returning.”So the king sent out a second horseman. He rode up to them and said,“ The king wants to know if you come in peace.” Again Jehu answered,“ What do you know about peace? Fall in behind me!”The watchman exclaimed,“ The messenger has met them, but he isn’t returning either! It must be Jehu son of Nimshi, for he’s driving like a madman.”
