Context of 2 Kings 9:33

31And as Jehu entered the gate, she asked, “Have you come in peace, O Zimri, murderer of your master?” 32He looked up at the window and called out, “Who is on my side? Who?” And two or three eunuchs looked down at him. “Throw her down!” yelled Jehu. So they threw her down, and her blood splattered on the wall and on the horses as they trampled her underfoot. 34Then Jehu went in and ate and drank. “Take care of this cursed woman,” he said, “and bury her, for she was the daughter of a king.” 35But when they went out to bury her, they found nothing but her skull, her feet, and the palms of her hands.
