2 Kings 9:27-35
271When Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by way of the garden house. But Jehu pursued him and said, “2Shoot him too, in the chariot.” So they shot him at the ascent of Gur, which is at 3Ibleam. But he fled to Megiddo and died there. 284Then 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 5the eleventh year of Joram, the son of Ahab, Ahaziah became king over Judah.
30When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard about it, and 6she put makeup on her eyes and adorned her head, and looked down through the window. 31As Jehu entered the gate, she said, “7Is 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 8this cursed woman and bury her, for 9she 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.
