New Testament

2 Kings 9:26-33 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

26. “Yesterday I saw the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons, declares the Lord, and I will surely make you pay for it on this plot of ground, declares the Lord.” Now then, pick him up and throw him on that plot, in accordance with the word of the Lord.’

27. When Ahaziah king of Judah saw what had happened, he fled up the road to Beth Haggan. Jehu chased him, shouting, ‘Kill him too!’ They wounded him in his chariot on the way up to Gur near Ibleam, but he escaped to Megiddo and died there.

28. His servants took him by chariot to Jerusalem and buried him with his ancestors in his tomb in the City of David.

29. (In the eleventh year of Joram son of Ahab, Ahaziah had become king of Judah.)

30. Then Jehu went to Jezreel. When Jezebel heard about it, she put on eye makeup, arranged her hair and looked out of a window.

31. As Jehu entered the gate, she asked, ‘Have you come in peace, you Zimri, you murderer of your master?’

32. He looked up at the window and called out, ‘Who is on my side? Who?’ Two or three eunuchs looked down at him.

33. ‘Throw her down!’ Jehu said. So they threw her down, and some of her blood spattered the wall and the horses as they trampled her underfoot.
