New American Standard Bible
21 Then [a]Joram said, “[b]Get ready.” And they [c]made his chariot ready. (A)Then [d]Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu and found him on the [e](B)property of Naboth the Jezreelite. 22 When [f]Joram saw Jehu, he said, “Is your intention peace, Jehu?” And he [g]answered, “What ‘peace,’ (C)so long as your mother Jezebel’s acts of prostitution and witchcraft are so many?” 23 So [h]Joram [i]turned back and fled, and he said to Ahaziah, “(D)There is treachery, Ahaziah!”

New International Version
21 “Hitch up my chariot,” Joram ordered. And when it was hitched up, Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah rode out, each in his own chariot, to meet Jehu. They met him at the plot of ground that had belonged to Naboth(A) the Jezreelite. 22 When Joram saw Jehu he asked, “Have you come in peace, Jehu?”
“How can there be peace,” Jehu replied, “as long as all the idolatry and witchcraft of your mother Jezebel(B) abound?”
23 Joram turned about and fled, calling out to Ahaziah, “Treachery,(C) Ahaziah!”
