30 Now when Jehu (YHWH is He) arrived in Jezreel (God sows), Jezebel (Baal exalts) heard of it. So she painted her eyes, adorned her head, and looked down from a window. 31 And as Jehu (YHWH is He) entered the gate, she asked, “Have you come in peace, O Zimri (my music), murderer of your master?” 32 He looked up at the window and called out, “Who is on my side? Who?” And two or three eunuchs looked down at him. 33 “Throw her down!” yelled Jehu. So they threw her down, and her blood splattered on the wall and on the horses as they trampled her underfoot. 34 Then Jehu went in and ate and drank. “Take care of this cursed woman,” he said, “and bury her, for she was the daughter of a king.” 35 But when they went out to bury her, they found nothing but her skull, her feet, and the palms of her hands. 36 So they went back and told Jehu, who replied, “This is the word of the LORD {YHWH}, which He spoke through His servant Elijah (my God is YHWH) the Tishbite (captivity): ‘On the plot of ground at Jezreel (God sows) the dogs will devour the flesh of Jezebel (Baal exalts). 37 And Jezebel’s (Baal exalts) body will lie like dung in the field on the plot of ground at Jezreel (God sows), so that no one can say: This is Jezebel <1Ki 21:23>.’ 2 Kings 9:30-37, Berean Annotated Bible.
