2 Kings 9:30-37

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.
