The Story of Jezebel

2 Kings 9:30–37 WEB

³⁰When Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and adorned her head, and looked out at the window. ³¹As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, “Do you come in peace, Zimri, you murderer of your master?” ³²He lifted up his face to the window, and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” Two or three eunuchs looked out at him. ³³He said, “Throw her down!” So they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses. Then he trampled her under foot. ³⁴When he had come in, he ate and drank. Then he said, “See now to this cursed woman, and bury her; for she is a king’s daughter.” ³⁵They went to bury her, but they found no more of her than the skull, the feet, and the palms of her hands. ³⁶Therefore they came back, and told him. He said, “This is the LORD’s word, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, ‘The dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel on the plot of Jezreel, ³⁷and the body of Jezebel will be as dung on the surface of the field on Jezreel’s land, so that they won’t say, “This is Jezebel.”’”
