2 Kings 9:27-37 ▼

27 And Ahaziah king of Judah saw, and he fled up the road toward Beth-haggan, and Jehu pursued him and said, “Shoot him also.” So they shot Ahaziah in the chariot on the Ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo and died there.

28 And his servants carried him in the chariot to Jerusalem, and they buried him in his tomb with his fathers in the City of David.

29 (And in the eleventh year of Jehoram son of Ahab, Ahaziah had become king over Judah.)

30 And Jehu had come to Jezreel, and Jezebel heard and put her eyes in paint and adorned her head, and she looked down through the window.

31 And Jehu entered into the gate, and she said, “Is it peace, O Zimri, manslayer of his master?”

32 And he lifted up his face to the window and said, “Who is is with me? Who?” And two or three eunuchs looked out at him.

33 And he said, “Drop her!” And they dropped her, and her blood splattered on the wall and on the horses, and he trampled her underfoot.

34 And he came in and ate and drank and said, “Look after now this accursed woman and bury her, for she was a daughter of a king.”

35 And they went to bury her, and no more they found of her but if the skull and the feet and the palms of the hands.

36 And they turned back and reported to him, and he said, “The word of YHWH it is, which He spoke by His servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, ‘In the portion of Jezreel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezebel.

37 And the corpse of Jezebel shall be as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, so that they cannot say: This is Jezebel.’”
