2 Kings 9:30-37

30When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard about it, and 1she put makeup on her eyes and adorned her head, and looked down through the window.

31As Jehu entered the gate, she said, “2Is 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 3this cursed woman and bury her, for 4she 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, ‘5On the 6property of Jezreel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezebel;

37and 7the corpse of Jezebel will be like dung on the face of the field in the 8property of Jezreel, so they cannot say, “This is Jezebel.”’”
