2 Kings 9:30-37 God's Word Translation (GW)

30. When Jehu arrived in Jezreel, Jezbel heard about it. She put on eye shadow, fixed her hair, and looked out of a second-story window.

31. When Jehu entered the gateway, she asked, “Is everything alright, Zimri, murderer of your master?”

32. Looking up at the window, he asked, “Is anyone on my side? Anyone?” Then two or three eunuchs looked out at him.

33. He said, “Throw her down.” They threw her down, and some of her blood splattered on the wall and the horses. The horses trampled her.

34. He went inside, ate, and drank. Then he said, “Take care of this woman who had a curse on her. After all, she was a king’s daughter.”

35. But when they went out to bury her, they couldn’t find any of her body except her skull, feet, and hands.

36. They came back and told him.Jehu said, “The Lord spoke through his servant Elijah from Tishbe. He said, ‘Dogs will eat Jezbel’s body inside the walls of Jezreel.

37. Jezbel’s corpse will be like manure on the ground in the fields surrounding Jezreel so that no one will be able to say that this is Jezbel.’ ”
