2 Kings 9:27-35

27But when Ahaziah king of Judah saw this, he fled by the road to Beth Haggan. So Jehu pursued him, and said, “Shoot him also in the chariot.” And they shot him at the Ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. Then he fled to Megiddo, and died there.

28And his servants carried him in the chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in the City of David.

29In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab, Ahaziah had become king over Judah.

30Now when Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she put paint on her eyes and adorned her head, and looked through a window.

31Then, as Jehu entered at the gate, she said, “Is it peace, Zimri, murderer of your master?”

32And he looked up at the window, and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” So two or three eunuchs looked out 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.

34And when he had gone in, he ate and drank. Then he said, “Go now, see to this accursed woman, and bury her, for she was a king’s daughter.”

35So they went to bury her, but they found no more of her than the skull and the feet and the palms of her hands.
