2 Kings 9:30–37

JEHU KILLS JEZEBEL

30 When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard about it, so she painted her eyes,a fixed her hair,A and looked down from the window. 31 As Jehu entered the city gate, she said, “Do you come in peace, Zimri,b killer of your master?”

32 He looked up toward the window and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” Two or three eunuchsc looked down at him, 33 and he said, “Throw her down!” So they threw her down, and some of her blood splattered on the wall and on the horses, and Jehu rode over her.d

34 Then he went in, ate and drank, and said, “Take care of this cursede woman and bury her, since she’s a king’s daughter.”f 35 But when they went out to bury her, they did not find anything but the skull, the feet, and the hands. 36 So they went back and told him, and he said, “This fulfills the Lord’s word that he spoke through his servant Elijah the Tishbite: ‘In the plot of land at Jezreel, the dogs will eat Jezebel’s flesh.g 37 Jezebel’s corpse will be like manureh on the surface of the ground in the plot of land at Jezreel so that no one will be able to say: This is Jezebel.’ ”
