The Death of Jezebel

2 Kings 9:30-37

9
Chapter 9
30 When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it. She put kohl on her eyes, adorned her head, and peered out the window. 31 Jehu came in the gate, and she said, "Peace, Zimri, who killed his lords?" 32 He lifted his face to the window and said, "Who is with me? Who?" And two or three eunuchs looked down to him. 33 He said, "Throw her down!" So they threw her down. Her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses, and they trampled her. 34 He went in, ate and drank, and said, "Take care of this cursed woman and bury her. She is a king's daughter." 35 They went to bury her but found nothing except her skull, feet, and the palms of her hands. 36 They returned and told him, and he said, "The word of the LORD that he spoke by the hand of his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 'In the portion of Jezreel the dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel.'" 37 The carcass of Jezebel will be like dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, which they will not say, "This is Jezebel."
