2 Kings 9:25–37

²⁵And Jehu saith unto Bidkar his captain, ‘Lift up, cast him into the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite—for, remember, I and thou were riding together after Ahab his father, and Jehovah lifted upon him this burden: ²⁶Have I not the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons seen yesternight—the affirmation of Jehovah—yea, I have recompensed to thee in this portion—the affirmation of Jehovah;—and now, lift up, cast him into the portion, according to the word of Jehovah.’ ²⁷And Ahaziah king of Judah hath seen, and fleeth the way of the garden-house, and Jehu pursueth after him, and saith, ‘Smite him—also him—in the chariot,’ in the going up to Gur, that is Ibleam, and he fleeth to Megiddo, and dieth there, ²⁸and his servants carry him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and bury him in his burying-place, with his fathers, in the city of David. ²⁹And in the eleventh year of Joram son of Ahab reign did Ahaziah over Judah.

³⁰And Jehu cometh in to Jezreel, and Jezebel hath heard, and putteth her eyes in paint and maketh right her head, and looketh out through the window. ³¹And Jehu hath come into the gate, and she saith, ‘Was there peace to Zimri—slayer of his lord?’ ³²And he lifteth up his face unto the window, and saith, ‘Who is with me?—who?’ and look out unto him do two or three eunuchs; ³³And he saith, ‘Let her go;’ and they let her go, and some of her blood is sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses, and he treadeth her down. ³⁴And he cometh in, and eateth, and drinketh, and saith, ‘Look after, I pray you, this cursed one, and bury her, for she is a king’s daughter.’ ³⁵And they go to bury her, and have not found of her except the skull, and the feet, and the palms of the hands. ³⁶And they turn back, and declare to him, and he saith, ‘The word of Jehovah it is, that He spake by the hand of this servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel do the dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel, ³⁷and the carcase of Jezebel hath been as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, that they say not, This is Jezebel.’
