27
But when Ahaziah, the king of Judah, saw
this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu followed after him and said, Smite him also in the chariot.
And they did so at the ascent to Gur, which
is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo and died there.
28
And his slaves carried him to Jerusalem and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.
29
In the eleventh year of Joram, the son of Ahab, Ahaziah began to reign over Judah.
30
And Jehu came to Jezreel, and when Jezebel heard
of it, she painted her face and tired her head and looked out of a window.
31
And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said,
Had Zimri peace, who slew his master?
32
And he lifted up his face to the window and said, Who
is on my side? Who? And two
or three eunuchs looked at him.
33
And 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 trode her under foot.
34
And he entered in, and after he ate and drank, he said, Go, see now this cursed
woman and bury her; for
after all she
is a king’s daughter.
35
But when they went to bury her, they found no more of her than the skull and the feet and the palms of
her hands.
36
And they returned and told him. And he said, This
is the word of the LORD, which he spoke by his slave Elijah, the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel.
37
And the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel so that no one shall be able to say, This
is Jezebel.
