2 Kings 9:29-34 Good News Bible (GNB)

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.”
