2 Kings 9:27-35
271When AhaziahH274 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 sawH7200 this, he fledH5127 by wayH1870 of the gardenH1588 houseH1004. But JehuH3058 pursuedH7291 him and saidH559, “2ShootH5221 him tooH1571, in the chariotH4818.” So they shot him at the ascentH4608 of GurH1483, whichH834 is at 3IbleamH2991. But he fledH5127 to MegiddoH4023 and diedH4191 thereH8033. 284Then his servantsH5650 carriedH7392 him inH7392 aH7392 chariotH7392 to JerusalemH3389, and buriedH6912 him in his graveH6900 with his fathersH1 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732.
29Now in 5the eleventhH259H6240 yearH8141 of JoramH3141, the sonH1121 of AhabH256, AhaziahH274 becameH4427 kingH4427 overH5921 JudahH3063.
30When JehuH3058 cameH935 to JezreelH3157, JezebelH348 heardH8085 about it, and 6she putH7760 makeupH6320 on her eyesH5869 and adornedH3190 her headH7218, and lookedH8259 downH8259 throughH1157 the windowH2474. 31As JehuH3058 enteredH935 the gateH8179, she saidH559, “7Is your intention peaceH7965, ZimriH2174, his master’sH113 murdererH2026?” 32Then he raisedH5375 his faceH6440 towardH413 the windowH2474 and saidH559, “WhoH4310 is with me, whoH4310?” And twoH8147 or threeH7969 officialsH5631 lookedH8259 downH8259 at him. 33Then he saidH559, “ThrowH8058 her downH8058.” So they threwH8058 her downH8058, and someH4480 of her bloodH1818 spatteredH5137 on the wallH7023 and on the horsesH5483, and he trampledH7429 her underfootH7429. 34When he cameH935 inH935, he ateH398 and drankH8354; and he saidH559, “SeeH6485 nowH4994 to 8thisH2088 cursedH779 womanH779 and buryH6912 her, for 9she is a king’sH4428 daughterH1323.” 35So they wentH1980 to buryH6912 her, but they foundH4672 nothingH3808 of her exceptH3588H518 the skullH1538, the feetH7272, and the palmsH3709 of her handsH3027.
