2 Kings 9:27-35
27When KingH4428 AhaziahH274 of JudahH3063 sawH7200 this, he fledH5127 up the roadH1870 toward Beth-hagganH1004H1588.
And JehuH3058 pursued himH7291H310, shoutingH559, “ShootH5221 himH853 tooH1571!”
So they shot Ahaziah inH413 his chariotH4818 on the AscentH4608 of GurH1483,1 near IbleamH2991, and he fledH5127 to MegiddoH4023 and diedH4191 thereH8033. 28Then his servantsH5650 carried him by chariotH7392 to JerusalemH3389 and buriedH6912 himH853 with his fathersH1 in his tombH6900H5973 in the CityH5892 of DavidH1732.
29(In the eleventhH259H6240H8141 yearH8141 of JoramH3141 sonH1121 of AhabH256, AhaziahH274 had become kingH4427 overH5921 JudahH3063.)
30Now when JehuH3058 arrivedH935 in JezreelH3157, JezebelH348 heardH8085 of it. So she paintedH7760H6320 her eyesH5869, adornedH3190 her headH7218, and looked downH8259 fromH1157 a windowH2474. 31And as JehuH3058 enteredH935 the gateH8179, she askedH559, “Have you come in peaceH7965, O ZimriH2174, murdererH2026 of your masterH113?”2
32He looked upH5375H6440 atH413 the windowH2474 and called outH559, “WhoH4310 is on my sideH854? WhoH4310?”
And twoH8147 or threeH7969 eunuchsH5631 looked downH8259 at himH413.
33“Throw her downH8058!” yelledH559 Jehu.
So they threw her downH8058, and her bloodH1818 splatteredH5137 onH413 the wallH7023 and onH413 the horsesH5483 as they trampled her underfootH7429.
34Then Jehu went inH935 and ateH398 and drankH8354. “Take care ofH6485H4994 thisH2063 cursedH779 woman,” he saidH559, “and bury herH6912, forH3588 sheH1931 was the daughterH1323 of a kingH4428.”
35But when they went outH1980 to bury herH6912, they foundH4672 nothingH3808 butH3588H518 her skullH1538, her feetH7272, and the palmsH3709 of her handsH3027.
