2 Kings 9:26-33 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

26. ‘As surely as I saw the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons yesterday’ — this is the Lord’s declaration — ‘so will I repay you on this plot of land’ — this is the Lord’s declaration. So now, according to the word of the Lord, pick him up and throw him on the plot of land.”

27. When King Ahaziah of Judah saw what was happening, he fled up the road toward Beth-haggan. Jehu pursued him, shouting, “Shoot him too! ” So they shot him in his chariot at Gur Pass near Ibleam, but he fled to Megiddo and died there.

28. Then his servants carried him to Jerusalem in a chariot and buried him in his fathers’ tomb in the city of David.

29. It was in the eleventh year of Joram son of Ahab that Ahaziah had become king over Judah.

30. When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard about it, so she painted her eyes, adorned her head, and looked down from the window.

31. As Jehu entered the gate, she said, “Do you come in peace, Zimri, killer of your master? ”

32. He looked up toward the window and said, “Who is on my side? Who? ” Two or three eunuchs looked down at him,

33. and he said, “Throw her down! ” So they threw her down, and some of her blood splattered on the wall and on the horses, and Jehu rode over her.
