2 Kings 9:25-32 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

25. Then Jehu said to Bidkar his officer, "Take him up and cast him into the property of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite, for I remember when you and I were riding together after Ahab his father, that the Lord laid this oracle against him:

26. 'Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons,' says the Lord, 'and I will repay you in this property,' says the Lord. Now then, take and cast him into the property, according to the word of the Lord."

27. When Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu pursued him and said, "Shoot him too, in the chariot." So they shot him at the ascent of Gur, which is at Ibleam. But he fled to Megiddo and died there.

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

29. Now in the eleventh year of Joram, the son of Ahab, Ahaziah became king over Judah.

30. When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it, and she painted her eyes and adorned her head and looked out the window.

31. As Jehu entered the gate, she said, "Is it well, Zimri, your master's murderer?"

32. Then he lifted up his face to the window and said, "Who is on my side? Who?" And two or three officials looked down at him.
