2 Kings 9:22

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?

Cross-reference

2 Kings 9:18 shows the first messenger rebuffed by Jehu — leading directly to Joram's own inquiry that Jehu answers in 9:22.

2 Kings 9:17 has Joram send a messenger asking 'Is it peace?' — the question Jehu answers in 9:22 with a stark denial.

2 Kings 9:11 Historical context

2 Kings 9:11 shows the earlier peace question ('Is all well?') that Jehu’s answer here reframes — no peace while Jezebel’s sins remain.

2 Kings 3:2 Contrast

2 Kings 3:2 says Joram did evil but not like his parents, contrasting his partial reform with Jezebel’s full-blown harlotry.

In 1 Kings 18:4, Jezebel slaughters the Lord's prophets — an example of the sorceries Jehu later cites as reason for no peace.

Revelation 17:5 names Babylon 'mother of harlots,' directly echoing Jezebel's harlotries and witchcrafts as a typological foreshadow.

In Revelation 2:20, the 'Jezebel' of Thyatira repeats the same harlotries and sorceries — Jehu's condemnation foreshadows judgment on her.

Nahum 3:4 Parallel

In Nahum 3:4, Nineveh is condemned for harlotries and sorceries — the exact same terms Jehu uses against Jezebel's influence.

In 1 Kings 21:8-10, Jezebel orchestrates Naboth's murder through false letters — a key instance of her sorceries and whoredoms.

1 Kings 19:2 Historical context

In 1 Kings 19:2, Jezebel vows to kill Elijah — a direct act of the sorceries Jehu names as cause for no peace.

1 Kings 16:30 Historical context

In 1 Kings 16:31-33, Ahab marries Jezebel and serves Baal — the origin of the whoredoms and sorceries Jehu condemns.

2 Chronicles 21:11 describes Jehoram leading Judah into 'fornication' — the same spiritual adultery Jehu condemns in Jezebel.

2 Chronicles 21:13 explicitly mentions 'whoredoms of the house of Ahab' — directly echoing Jehu's accusation.

Isaiah 57:21 declares 'no peace to the wicked' — perfectly matching Jehu's rhetorical 'What peace?'
