Jehu replied, "What do you know about peace?"
What do we know about peace? We know that we sort of like peace because it's easy and relaxing but Jesus famously said, "I have not come to bring peace but a sword". But if Jesus is the Prince of Peace and if we can have a "peace that transcends all understanding" why did Jesus say that He did not come to bring peace?
It is because like a lot of things, we don't really understand the difference between human peace and God's peace. We want human peace but God's peace is not about comfort and easy lives as much as it is about being at peace with Him. The peace of God requires work and confrontation as well as boldness and suffering. In other words, we have to sometimes forfeit our peace for His peace.
