2 Kings 9:30–37

Jehu Kills Jezebel

³⁰When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard about it, so she painted her eyes, ^ladorned her head, and looked down from the window. ³¹As Jehu entered the gate, she said, “Do you come in peace, Zimri, ^mnkiller of your master?”

³²He looked up toward the window and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” Two or three eunuchs ^olooked down at him, ³³and 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. ^p

³⁴Then he went in, ate and drank, and said, “Take care of this cursed ^qwoman and bury her, since she’s a king’s daughter.” ^r35But when they went out to bury her, they did not find anything but her skull, her feet, and the palms of her hands. ³⁶So 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. ^s37Jezebel’s corpse will be like manure ^ton the surface of the field in the plot of land at Jezreel so that no one will be able to say: This is Jezebel.’ ”
