2 Kings 9:30–37

Death of Jezebel

³⁰When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard about it. She put on her eye makeup and fixed her hair. Then she looked out the window. ³¹When Jehu entered the city gate, Jezebel said, “Have you come in peace, you Zimri, ⁿ you who killed your master?”

³²Jehu looked up at the window and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” Two or three servants looked out the window at Jehu. ³³He said to them, “Throw her down.” So they threw Jezebel down, and the horses ran over her. Some of her blood splashed on the wall and on the horses.

³⁴Jehu went into the house and ate and drank. Then he said, “Now see about this cursed woman. Bury her, because she is a king’s daughter.”

³⁵The men went to bury Jezebel, but they could not find her. They found only her skull, feet, and the palms of her hands. ³⁶When they came back and told Jehu, he said, “The Lord said this through his servant Elijah the Tishbite: ‘The dogs will eat Jezebel at Jezreel. ³⁷Her body will be like manure on the field in the land at Jezreel. No one will be able to say that this is Jezebel.’ ”
