2 Kings 9:36 In-Context

34 Then he went in, ate and drank, and said, "Take care of this cursed woman and bury her, since she's a king's daughter."

35 But when they went out to bury her, they did not find anything but her skull, her feet, and the palms of her hands.

36 So they went back and told him, and he said, "This [fulfills] the Lord's word that He spoke through His servant Elijah the Tishbite: 'In the plot of land at Jezreel, the dogs will eat Jezebel's flesh.

37 Jezebel's corpse will be like manure on the surface of the field in the plot of land at Jezreel so that no one will [be able] to say: This is Jezebel.' "
