Jezebel Is Slain

33 He said, "Throw her down." So they threw her down, and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall and on the horses, and he trampled her under foot.
34 When he came in, he ate and drank; and he said, "See now to 1this cursed woman and bury her, for 2she is a king's daughter."
35 They went to bury her, but they found nothing more * of her than * the skull and the feet and the palms of her hands.
36 Therefore they returned and told him. And he said, "This is the word of the LORD, which He spoke by His servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, '3In the property of Jezreel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezebel;
37 and 4the corpse of Jezebel will be as dung on the face of the field in the property of Jezreel, so they cannot say, "This is Jezebel.""'
