2 Kings 9:30-37

30 venit Hieu Hiezrahel porro Hiezabel introitu eius audito depinxit oculos suos stibio et ornavit caput suum et respexit per fenestram

31 ingredientem Hieu per portam et ait numquid pax esse potest Zamri qui interfecit dominum suum

32 levavitque Hieu faciem suam ad fenestram et ait quae est ista et inclinaverunt se ad eum duo vel tres eunuchi

33 at ille dixit eis praecipitate eam deorsum et praecipitaverunt eam aspersusque est sanguine paries et equorum ungulae qui conculcaverunt eam

34 cumque ingressus esset et comederet bibissetque ait ite videte maledictam illam et sepelite eam quia filia regis est

35 cumque issent ut sepelirent eam non invenerunt nisi calvariam et pedes et summas manus

36 reversique nuntiaverunt ei et ait Hieu sermo Domini est quem locutus est per servum suum Heliam Thesbiten dicens in agro Hiezrahel comedent canes carnes Hiezabel

37 et erunt carnes Hiezabel sicut stercus super faciem terrae in agro Hiezrahel ita ut praetereuntes dicant haecine est illa Hiezabel

INTRODUCTION TO 2 KINGS 9

In this chapter we are told that one of the sons of the prophets was sent by Elisha to anoint Jehu king of Israel, and to order him to smite and destroy the whole house of Ahab, 2Ki 9:1-10, which being done unto him, and the order received by Jehu, he acquainted his captains with it, 2Ki 9:11-15, who set out with him immediately to Jezreel, 2Ki 9:16-21, where he slew Joram king of Israel, 2Ki 9:22-26, and Ahaziah king of Judah, 2Ki 9:27-29, and Jezebel, the widow of Ahab, and mother of Joram, 2Ki 9:30-37.
