Jehu drives like a madman

2 Kings 9:17-20 - When the lookout standing on the tower in Jezreel saw Jehu's troops approaching, he called out, "I see some troops coming."

"Get a horseman," Joram ordered. "Send him to meet them and ask, 'Do you come in peace?' "

The horseman rode off to meet Jehu and said, "This is what the king says: 'Do you come in peace?' "

"What do you have to do with peace?" Jehu replied. "Fall in behind me."

The lookout reported, "The messenger has reached them, but he isn't coming back."

So the king sent out a second horseman. When he came to them he said, "This is what the king says: 'Do you come in peace?' "

Jehu replied, "What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me."

The lookout reported, "He has reached them, but he isn't coming back either. The driving is like that of Jehu son of Nimshi—he drives like a madman."

I wonder where the watchman had seen Jehu drive a chariot recklessly before. I wonder how often he had seen him drive. I wonder if this was the only reckless chariot driver he knew.

I wonder if Jehu was commonly known as a reckless driver or "madman" on the road.

I wonder if Jehu was simply not a good chariot driver or if he had a servant who was a bad driver.
