22. When Joram saw Jehu he said, “Is it peace, Jehu?”And he said, “What peace, so long as the harlotries of your mother Jezebel and her sorceries are so many?”
23. Then Joram turned the reins, fled, and said to Ahaziah, “There is treachery, Ahaziah.”
24. Jehu drew a bow with his full strength and shot Joram between his shoulder blades. The arrow went out at his heart, and he kneeled down in his chariot.
25. Then Jehu said to Bidkar his officer, “Lift him up and throw him on the property of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite. Remember when you and I were riding together after Ahab his father and the Lord pronounced this oracle about him:
26. ‘Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth and his sons, declares the Lord, and I will pay you back on this property, declares the Lord.’ Now lift him up and throw him onto the property, according to the word of the Lord.”
27. But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled on the path to the garden house. Jehu chased after him and said, “Shoot him too.” So they shot him on the ascent to Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo and died there.
28. His servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in the City of David.
29. In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab, Ahaziah became king over Judah.
30. When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard about it. She put black paint on her eyes, adorned her head, and looked down through the window.
31. As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, “Is everything all right, Zimri, murderer of his master?”
32. And he lifted up his face toward the window and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” And two or three eunuchs looked down to him.
33. He said, “Drop her down.” So they dropped her down and some of her blood splattered on the wall and on the horses. Then he trampled her.
34. Then he entered, ate and drank, and said, “Attend to that cursed woman and bury her, for she is a king’s daughter.”
35. So they went to bury her, but they found nothing of her except a skull, the feet, and the palms of her hands.
