2 Kings 9:21-36

21Then 1Joram said, “2Get ready.” And they 3made his chariot ready. 4Then 5Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu and found him on the 67property of Naboth the Jezreelite. 22When 8Joram saw Jehu, he said, “Is your intention peace, Jehu?” And he 9answered, “What ‘peace,’ 10so long as your mother Jezebel’s acts of prostitution and witchcraft are so many?” 23So 11Joram 12turned back and fled, and he said to Ahaziah, “13There is treachery, Ahaziah!” 24Then 14Jehu 15drew his bow with his full strength and 16shot 17Joram between his arms; and the arrow went 18through his heart, and he sank in his chariot. 25And Jehu said to Bidkar his officer, “Pick him up and 19throw him on the 20property of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember, when 21you and I were riding together after his father Ahab, that the 22Lord brought this 23pronouncement against him: 26‘24I have certainly seen yesterday the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons,’ declares the Lord, ‘and 25I will repay you on this 26property,’ declares the Lord. Now then, pick him up and throw him on the 27property, in accordance with the word of the Lord.”

2728When Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by way of the garden house. But Jehu pursued him and said, “29Shoot him too, in the chariot.” So they shot him at the ascent of Gur, which is at 30Ibleam. But he fled to Megiddo and died there. 2831Then his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his grave with his fathers in the city of David.

29Now in 32the eleventh year of Joram, the son of Ahab, Ahaziah became king over Judah.

30When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard about it, and 33she put makeup on her eyes and adorned her head, and looked down through the window. 31As Jehu entered the gate, she said, “34Is your intention peace, Zimri, his master’s murderer?” 32Then he raised his face toward the window and said, “Who is with me, who?” And two or three officials looked down at him. 33Then 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 he said, “See now to 35this cursed woman and bury her, for 36she is a king’s daughter.” 35So they went to bury her, but they found nothing of her except the skull, the feet, and the palms of her hands. 36Therefore they returned and informed him. And he said, “This is the word of the Lord, which He spoke by His servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, ‘37On the 38property of Jezreel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezebel;
