2 Kings 9:30-37

30 When Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and attired her head, and looked out at the window.
31 As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Is it peace, you Zimri, your master's murderer?
32 He lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? There looked out to him two or three eunuchs.
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 trod her under foot.
34 When he was come in, he ate and drink; and he said, See now to this cursed woman, and bury her; for she is a king's daughter.
35 They went to bury her; but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.
36 Therefore they came back, and told him. He said, This is the word of Yahweh, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall the dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel;
37 and the body of Jezebel shall be as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.
