2 Kings 9:27-35

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

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

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

30So when Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard about it, and she painted her eyes and adorned her head and looked down from the [upper] window.

31As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, “Is it well, Zimri, your master’s murderer?”

32Then Jehu raised his face toward the window and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” And two or three officials looked down at him.

33And he said, “Throw her down.” So they threw her down, and some of her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses, and he trampled her underfoot.

34When he came in, he ate and drank, and said, “See now to this cursed woman and bury her, for she is a king’s daughter.”

35They went to bury her, but they found nothing left of her except the skull and the feet and the palms of her hands.
