New International Version
2 Kings 9:27-35
27When Ahaziah king of Judah saw what had happened, he fled up the road to Beth Haggan. Jehu chased him, shouting, “Kill him too!” They wounded him in his chariot on the way up to Gur near Ibleam, but he escaped to Megiddo and died there.
28His servants took him by chariot to Jerusalem and buried him with his ancestors in his tomb in the City of David.
29(In the eleventh year of Joram son of Ahab, Ahaziah had become king of Judah.)
30Then Jehu went to Jezreel. When Jezebel heard about it, she put on eye makeup, arranged her hair and looked out of a window.
31As Jehu entered the gate, she asked, “Have you come in peace, you Zimri, you murderer of your master?”
32He looked up at the window and called out, “Who is on my side? Who?” Two or three eunuchs looked down at him.
33“Throw her down!” Jehu said. So they threw her down, and some of her blood spattered the wall and the horses as they trampled her underfoot.
34Jehu went in and ate and drank. “Take care of that cursed woman,” he said, “and bury her, for she was a king’s daughter.”
35But when they went out to bury her, they found nothing except her skull, her feet and her hands.
