2 Kings 9:30–37

Queen Jezebel Is Killed

³⁰Jehu arrived in Jezreel. Jezebel, having heard what had happened, put on eyeshadow, arranged her hair, and stood looking down at the street from a window in the palace. ³¹As Jehu came through the gate, she called out, “You Zimri!^u You assassin! Why are you here?”

³²Jehu looked up and shouted, “Who is on my side?” Two or three palace officials looked down at him from a window, ³³and Jehu said to them, “Throw her down!” They threw her down, and her blood spattered the wall and the horses. Jehu drove his horses and chariot over her body, ³⁴entered the palace, and had a meal. Only then did he say, “Take that cursed woman and bury her; after all, she is a king’s daughter.” ³⁵But the men who went out to bury her found nothing except her skull, and the bones of her hands and feet. ^36*When they reported this to Jehu, he said, “This is what the Lord said would happen, when he spoke through his servant Elijah: ‘Dogs will eat Jezebel’s body in the territory of Jezreel. ³⁷Her remains will be scattered there like dung, so that no one will be able to identify them.’ ”
