27. King Ahaziah saw what happened, so he fled in his chariot towards the town of Beth Haggan, pursued by Jehu. “Kill him too!” Jehu ordered his men, and they wounded him as he drove his chariot on the road up to Gur, near the town of Ibleam. But he managed to keep going until he reached the city of Megiddo, where he died.
28. His officials took his body back to Jerusalem in a chariot and buried him in the royal tombs in David's City.
29. Ahaziah had become king of Judah in the eleventh year that Joram son of Ahab was king of Israel.
30. Jehu arrived in Jezreel. Jezebel, having heard what had happened, put on eyeshadow, arranged her hair, and stood looking down at the street from a window in the palace.
31. As Jehu came through the gate, she called out, “You Zimri! You assassin! Why are you here?”
32. Jehu looked up and shouted, “Who is on my side?” Two or three palace officials looked down at him from a window,
33. and Jehu said to them, “Throw her down!” They threw her down, and her blood spattered the wall and the horses. Jehu drove his horses and chariot over her body,
34. entered the palace, and had a meal. Only then did he say, “Take that cursed woman and bury her; after all, she is a king's daughter.”
35. But the men who went out to bury her found nothing except her skull, and the bones of her hands and feet.
36. When they reported this to Jehu, he said, “This is what the Lord said would happen, when he spoke through his servant Elijah: ‘Dogs will eat Jezebel's body in the territory of Jezreel.
37. Her remains will be scattered there like dung, so that no one will be able to identify them.’ ”
