And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?

Verse 22 is found in chapter 9 of 2 Kings. Jehu arrives at Jezreel and encounters Joram and Ahaziah. Joram asks whether there is peace, but Jehu connects the absence of peace with Jezebel’s idolatries. Joram attempts to escape and is mortally wounded. Ahaziah also dies after fleeing. The deaths fulfill the general direction of the judgment pronounced against Ahab’s house. The narrative links the dynasty’s politics, violence, and idolatry: peace cannot be defined simply as the absence of war when the power structure remains committed to practices the narrator considers rebellion against God.
