2 Kings 9:29-37 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

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

30. Now when Jehu arrived at Jezreel, Jezebel heard about it. So she painted her eyes and dressed her hair, and looked out the window.

31. As Jehu entered the gate, she said, “Is it peace, Zimri, your master’s assassin?”

32. Then he lifted up his face to the window and called out, “Who is on my side? Who?” Two or three eunuchs looked down toward him.

33. Then he said, “Throw her down!” So they threw her down—then her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses, and they trampled her.

34. Then he went inside, ate and drank. Then he said, “Attend now to this cursed woman and bury her, for she was a king’s daughter.”

35. But when they went to bury her, they found no more of her than the skull, the feet, and the palms of her hands.

36. So they came back and told him. He said, “This is the word of Adonai, which He spoke by His servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying: ‘In the field of Jezreel will the dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel,

37. and the carcass of Jezebel will be as dung upon the face of the field in the property of Jezreel, so that they will not say, “This was Jezebel.”’”
