2 Kings 9:25–37

²⁵Then said Jehu to Bidkar his ^ecaptain, Take up, and cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for remember how that, when I and thou rode ^ftogether after Ahab his father, ^gthe Lord laid this ^hburden upon him; ²⁶Surely I have seen yesterday the ^†blood of Naboth, and the ^†blood of his sons, saith the Lord; and ^gI will requite thee in this ^||plat, saith the Lord. Now therefore take and cast him into the ^||plat of ground, according to the word of the Lord.

²⁷But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot. ⁱAnd they did so at the going up to Gur, which is by ⁱIbleam. ^*And he fled to ^||Megiddo, and died there. ²⁸And his servants ^jcarried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David. ²⁹And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began ^||Ahaziah to reign over Judah.

^30*And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she ^k†painted her face, and tired her head, and ^llooked out at a window. ³¹And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Had ^mZimri peace, who slew his master? ³²And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three ^||eunuchs. ³³And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trode her under foot. ³⁴And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed woman, and bury her: for ⁿshe is a king’s daughter. ³⁵And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands. ³⁶Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the Lord, which he spake ^†by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, ^oIn the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel: ³⁷And the carcase of Jezebel shall be ^pas dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.
