26. The Lord said, ‘Yesterday I saw the blood of Naboth and his sons. And I, the Lord, am telling you that I will punish Ahab in this field.’ So take Joram’s body and throw it into the field, just as the Lord said.”
27. King Ahaziah of Judah saw this and ran away. He tried to escape through the garden house, but Jehu followed him. Jehu had said, “Shoot Ahaziah too!” Ahaziah was wounded when he was in his chariot on the road to Gur near Ibleam. He got as far as Megiddo, but he died there.
28. Ahaziah’s servants carried his body in the chariot to Jerusalem. They buried him in his tomb with his ancestors in the City of David.
29. Ahaziah had become king over Judah during Joram’s eleventh year as king of Israel.
30. When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard the news. She put her makeup on and fixed her hair. Then she stood by the window and looked out.
31. Jehu entered the city. Jezebel said, “Hello, you Zimri. You killed your master just as he did.”
32. Jehu looked up at the window and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” Two or three eunuchs looked out at Jehu.
33. Jehu said, “Throw Jezebel down!” Then the eunuchs threw her down. Some of her blood splashed on the wall and on the horses that trampled her body.
