2 Kings 9:24-37

24And JehuH3058 drew his bowH7198 with his fullH4390 strengthH2220, and smote Joram between his armsH2220; and the arrowH2678 wentH3318 out at his heartH3820, and he sunk downH5221 in his chariotH7393. 25Then saidH559 Jehu to Bidkar his captain, TakeH5375 up, and castH7993 him in the portionH2513 of the fieldH7704 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158; for rememberH2142 how that, when I and thou rodeH7392 together after AhabH256 his fatherH1, Jehovah laid this burdenH4853 upon him: 26Surely I have seenH7200 yesterdayH570 the bloodH1818 of NabothH5022, and the bloodH1818 of his sonsH1121, saith Jehovah; and I will requite thee in this plat, saith Jehovah. NowH6258 thereforeH6258 takeH5375 and castH7993 him into the plat of ground, according to the wordH1697 of Jehovah.

27But whenH834 AhaziahH274 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 sawH7200 this, he fledH5127 by the wayH1870 of the garden-house. And JehuH3058 followed after him, and saidH559, Smite him alsoH1571 in the chariotH4818: and they smote him at the ascentH4608 of Gur, which is by IbleamH2991. And he fledH5127 to MegiddoH4023, and diedH4191 there. 28And his servantsH5650 carried him in a chariot to JerusalemH3389, and buriedH6912 him in his sepulchre with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732.

29And in the eleventh yearH8141 of JoramH3141 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 began AhaziahH274 to reignH4427 over JudahH3063.

30And when JehuH3058 was comeH935 to JezreelH3157, JezebelH348 heardH8085 of it; and she painted her eyesH5869, and attired her headH7218, and lookedH8259 out at the windowH2474. 31And as JehuH3058 entered in at the gateH8179, she saidH559, Is it peaceH7965, thou ZimriH2174, thy master’sH113 murderer? 32And he liftedH5375 up his faceH6440 to the windowH2474, and saidH559, Who is on my side? who? And there lookedH8259 out to him twoH8147 or threeH7969 eunuchsH5631. 33And he saidH559, Throw her down. So they threw her down; and some of her bloodH1818 was sprinkled on the wallH7023, and on the horsesH5483: and he trod her under foot. 34And when he was comeH935 in, he did eatH398 and drinkH8354; and he saidH559, See now to this cursedH779 woman, and buryH6912 her; for she is a king’sH4428 daughterH1323. 35And they went to buryH6912 her; but they foundH4672 no more of her than the skullH1538, and the feetH7272, and the palmsH3709 of her handsH3027. 36Wherefore they came backH7725, and toldH5046 him. And he saidH559, This is the wordH1697 of Jehovah, which he spake by his servantH5650 ElijahH452 the Tishbite, sayingH559, In the portionH2506 of JezreelH3157 shall the dogsH3611 eatH398 the fleshH1320 of JezebelH348; 37and the body of JezebelH348 shall beH1961 as dungH1828 upon the faceH6440 of the fieldH7704 in the portionH2506 of JezreelH3157, so that they shall not sayH559, This is JezebelH348.
