Who?” Two or three eunuchs looked down at him. He said, “Throw her down!” So they threw her down, and when she hit the ground, her blood splattered against the wall and the horses, and Jehu drove his chariot over her. 34He went inside and had a meal.

Bury her, for after all, she was a king’s daughter.” 35But when they went to bury her, they found nothing left but the skull, feet, and palms of the hands.
