2 Kings 9:20 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
2 Kings 9:19      2 Kings 9:21

Second Kings 9:20

And the watchman told him, saying, "The messenger came to them, but he is not coming back. His driving is like the driving of Jehu, the son of Nimshi, for he drives violently ("like a madman" – Hebr. shigaon)." [The word "violently" comes from the same root as that translated "mad" in verse 11. This is the meaning given by the Greek and Latin versions, but the Jewish historian Josephus explained the word as meaning: "Jehu traveled calmly and in good order." Jehu drove in a manner that was easily recognizable. The similar word shiggaion is used for psalms that have "sudden changes," see Ps. 7:intro; Hab. 3:1.]
