Jehu Anointed King of Israel
9 Then Elisha the prophet called one of (A)the sons of the prophets and said to him, (B)“Tie up your garments, and take this (C)flask of oil in your hand, and go to (D)Ramoth-gilead. 2 And when you arrive, look there for Jehu (E)the son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi. And go in and have him rise from among (F)his fellows, and lead him to an inner chamber. 3 Then take the flask of oil and pour it on his head and say, ‘Thus says the Lord, (G)I anoint you king over Israel.’ Then open the door and flee; do not linger.”
4 So the young man, the servant of the prophet, went to Ramoth-gilead. 5 And when he came, behold, the commanders of the army were in council. And he said, “I have a word for you, O commander.” And Jehu said, “To which of us all?” And he said, “To you, O commander.” 6 So he arose and went into the house. And the young man poured the oil on his head, saying to him, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, (H)I anoint you king over the people of the Lord, over Israel. 7 And you shall strike down the house of Ahab your master, so that I may avenge (I)on Jezebel the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord. 8 For the whole house of Ahab shall perish, (J)and I will cut off from Ahab (K)every male, (L)bond or free, in Israel. 9 And I will make the house of Ahab like (M)the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like (N)the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah. 10 (O)And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the territory of Jezreel, and none shall bury her.” Then he opened the door and fled.
11 When Jehu came out to the servants of his master, they said to him, (P)“Is all well? Why did (Q)this mad fellow come to you?” And he said to them, “You know the fellow and his talk.” 12 And they said, “That is not true; tell us now.” And he said, “Thus and so he spoke to me, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord, I anoint you king over Israel.’” 13 Then in haste (R)every man of them took his garment and put it under him on the bare[a] steps, and they blew the trumpet and proclaimed, (S)“Jehu is king.”
Jehu Assassinates Joram and Ahaziah
14 Thus Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. ((T)Now Joram with all Israel had been on guard at Ramoth-gilead against (U)Hazael king of Syria, 15 (V)but King Joram had returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds that the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) So Jehu said, “If this is your decision, then let no one slip out of the city to go and tell the news in Jezreel.” 16 Then Jehu mounted his chariot and went to Jezreel, for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to visit Joram.
17 Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he saw the company of Jehu as he came and said, “I see a company.” And Joram said, “Take a horseman and send to meet them, and let him say, ‘Is it peace?’” 18 So a man on horseback went to meet him and said, “Thus says the king, ‘Is it peace?’” And Jehu said, “What do you have to do with peace? Turn around and ride behind me.” And the watchman reported, saying, “The messenger reached them, but he is not coming back.” 19 Then he sent out a second horseman, who came to them and said, “Thus the king has said, ‘Is it peace?’” And Jehu answered, “What do you have to do with peace? Turn around and ride behind me.” 20 Again the watchman reported, “He reached them, but he is not coming back. And the driving (W)is like the driving of Jehu (X)the son of Nimshi, for he drives furiously.”
21 Joram said, (Y)“Make ready.” And they made ready his chariot. (Z)Then Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah set out, each in his chariot, and went to meet Jehu, and met him (AA)at the property of Naboth the Jezreelite. 22 And when Joram saw Jehu, he said, “Is it peace, Jehu?” He answered, “What peace can there be, so long as (AB)the whorings and the sorceries of your mother Jezebel are so many?” 23 Then Joram reined about and fled, saying to Ahaziah, “Treachery, O Ahaziah!” 24 And Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and shot Joram between the shoulders, so that the arrow pierced his heart, and he sank in his chariot. 25 Jehu said to Bidkar (AC)his aide, “Take him up and throw him (AD)on the plot of ground belonging to Naboth the Jezreelite. For remember, when you and I rode side by side behind Ahab his father, how (AE)the Lord made this (AF)pronouncement against him: 26 ‘As surely as I saw yesterday the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons—declares the Lord—I will repay you on this plot of ground.’ Now therefore take him up and throw him on the plot of ground, in accordance with the word of the Lord.”
27 (AG)When Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled in the direction of Beth-haggan. And Jehu pursued him and said, “Shoot him also.” And they shot him[b] in the chariot at the ascent of Gur, which is by (AH)Ibleam. And he fled to (AI)Megiddo and died there. 28 (AJ)His servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in the city of David.
29 In the (AK)eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab, Ahaziah began to reign over Judah.
Jehu Executes Jezebel
30 When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it. And (AL)she painted her eyes and adorned her head and looked out of the window. 31 And as Jehu entered the gate, she said, (AM)“Is it peace, you Zimri, murderer of your master?” 32 And he lifted up his face to the window and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” Two or three eunuchs looked out at him. 33 He said, “Throw her down.” So they threw her down. And some of her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses, and they trampled on her. 34 Then he went in and ate and drank. And he said, “See now to this cursed woman and bury her, (AN)for 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 When they came back and told him, he said, “This is the word of the Lord, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite: (AO)‘In the territory of Jezreel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezebel, 37 and the corpse of Jezebel shall be (AP)as dung on the face of the field in the territory of Jezreel, so that no one can say, This is Jezebel.’”

Jehú es ungido rey de Israel
9 Entonces el profeta Eliseo llamó a uno de los profetas y le dijo:
«Cíñete la ropa, llévate esta redoma de aceite, y ve a Ramot de Galaad. 2 Al llegar allá, irás a ver a Jehú, el hijo de Josafat y nieto de Nimsi. Cuando entres a su casa, haz que se levante de entre sus hermanos, y llévalo a otro cuarto. 3 Toma entonces la redoma de aceite y derrámala sobre su cabeza. Y dile: “Así dijo el Señor: Yo te he ungido para que reines sobre Israel.” Después de esto, abre la puerta y huye sin detenerte.»
4 El joven profeta se fue entonces a Ramot de Galaad. 5 Al llegar, encontró reunidos a los principales jefes del ejército, así que dijo:
«Mi comandante, tengo un mensaje para usted.»
Y Jehú dijo:
«¿Para cuál de todos nosotros?»
Y el profeta dijo:
«Precisamente para usted, mi comandante.»
6 Jehú se levantó y entró en casa; entonces el profeta derramó el aceite sobre su cabeza y le dijo:
«Así ha dicho el Señor, Dios de Israel: “Yo, el Señor, te he ungido para que reines sobre Israel, mi pueblo.(A) 7 Vas a acabar con la dinastía de tu señor Ajab, para que yo vengue la sangre de todos mis siervos, incluidos los profetas, que Jezabel ha asesinado. 8 Toda la dinastía de Ajab será destruida. Acabaré en Israel con todos los varones de Ajab, lo mismo esclavos que libres. 9 Haré con la dinastía de Ajab lo mismo que hice con la dinastía de Jeroboán hijo de Nabat y con la dinastía de Basá hijo de Ajías. 10 A Jezabel se la comerán los perros en el campo de Jezrel,(B) y no habrá nadie que la sepulte.”»
Dicho esto, el profeta abrió la puerta y salió huyendo. 11 Y cuando Jehú salió, los oficiales de su amo le preguntaron:
«¿Todo está bien? ¿Para qué vino a verte ese loco?»
Y Jehú les dijo:
«Ustedes ya saben cómo es esta gente, y las cosas que dicen.»
12 Pero ellos objetaron:
«No nos mientas. Dinos qué te dijo.»
Entonces él respondió:
«Me dijo varias cosas. Entre ellas, me dijo: “Así ha dicho el Señor: Yo te he ungido para que reines sobre Israel.”»
13 Entonces todos ellos tomaron de prisa su manto, y lo pusieron en un trono alto, debajo de Jehú; luego tocaron la trompeta y gritaron: «¡Jehú es rey!»
Jehú mata a Jorán
14 Fue así como Jehú, el hijo de Josafat y nieto de Nimsi, conspiró contra Jorán, que por causa del rey Jazael de Siria estaba con todos los israelitas protegiendo la ciudad de Ramot de Galaad, 15 aunque había regresado a Jezrel para curarse las heridas que los sirios le habían hecho en la batalla contra el rey Jazael de Siria. Jehú dijo:
«Si ustedes están de acuerdo, que nadie escape de la ciudad, para que la noticia no se sepa en Jezrel.»
16 Dicho esto, Jehú montó en su carro y se dirigió a Jezrel, donde Jorán yacía enfermo. Allí también estaba el rey Ocozías de Judá, que había ido a visitar a Jorán. 17 Cuando el atalaya que estaba en la torre de Jezrel vio venir la tropa de Jehú, gritó:
«¡Veo que se acerca una tropa!»
Y Jorán dijo:
«Manda a un jinete. Que los inspeccione y les pregunte en qué plan vienen.»
18 El jinete fue a inspeccionarlos, y les dijo:
«El rey manda a decir si vienen en son de paz.»
Y Jehú le respondió:
«¿De qué paz me hablas? ¡Tú pásate a mis filas!»
Entonces el atalaya dio aviso, y dijo:
«El mensajero ha llegado hasta ellos, pero no veo que regrese.»
19 Se envió entonces a otro jinete, el cual llegó hasta ellos y dijo:
«El rey manda a preguntar si vienen en son de paz.»
Y Jehú también le respondió:
«¿De qué paz me hablas? ¡Tú pásate a mis filas!»
20 El atalaya volvió a dar aviso:
«También el otro jinete llegó hasta ellos, pero no veo que regrese. Por la manera de conducir, me parece que quien viene en el carro es Jehú hijo de Nimsi, pues conduce como un loco.»
21 Jorán ordenó entonces que prepararan su carro. Y cuando estuvo listo, partieron juntos el rey Jorán de Israel y el rey Ocozías de Judá, aunque cada uno en su carro, y fueron al encuentro de Jehú, al que hallaron en el campo que había pertenecido a Nabot de Jezrel. 22 Cuando Jorán vio a Jehú, exclamó:
«¿Vienes en son de paz, Jehú?»
Y éste respondió:
«¿Y qué paz puede haber, con tantas fornicaciones y hechicerías de tu madre Jezabel?»
23 Entonces Jorán dio vuelta a su carro y emprendió la huida, mientras decía a Ocozías:
«¡Nos han traicionado, Ocozías!»
24 Pero Jehú tensó su arco y le clavó una flecha a Jorán por la espalda; y la saeta le salió por el corazón, y cayó muerto en su carro. 25 Jehú le dijo a Bidcar, su capitán:
«Tómalo, y arrójalo en un extremo del campo que fue de Nabot de Jezrel. Acuérdate que cuando tú y yo íbamos juntos con la gente de Ajab, su padre, el Señor pronunció esta sentencia contra él, cuando dijo: 26 “Yo, el Señor, vi ayer aquí la sangre de Nabot, y la sangre de sus hijos. Por eso aquí, en este campo, te daré tu merecido. Yo soy el Señor.”(C) Así que, conforme a la palabra del Señor, tómalo y arrójalo en el que fue campo de Nabot.»
Jehú mata a Ocozías(D)
27 Cuando el rey Ocozías de Judá vio esto, huyó por el camino de Bet Hagán, seguido de Jehú, que decía: «Hieran también a éste que va en el carro.» Y en la subida de Gur, junto a Ibleam, Ocozías fue herido. Por eso huyó a Meguido, donde murió. 28 Sus oficiales lo llevaron a Jerusalén en un carro, y allá, en la ciudad de David, lo sepultaron en su propio sepulcro, junto a sus antepasados.
29 Ocozías comenzó a reinar sobre Judá en el undécimo año del reinado de Jorán hijo de Ajab.
Muerte de Jezabel
30 Después Jehú se fue a Jezrel, y cuando Jezabel lo supo, se pintó los ojos con antimonio y se atavió la cabeza, y se asomó a la ventana. 31 En el momento en que Jehú entró a la ciudad, ella gritó:
«¿Cómo le va a Zimri, asesino de su rey?»
32 Jehú levantó la vista hacia la ventana, y dijo:
«¿Hay alguien ahí que esté de mi parte?»
Dos o tres eunucos se inclinaron hacia él, 33 y él les dijo:
«¡Arrójenla al suelo!»
Ellos la lanzaron por la ventana, y parte de su sangre salpicó la pared y los caballos, y Jehú la arrolló. 34 Luego, entró y comió y bebió, y más tarde dijo:
«Ahora vayan a ver a esa maldita mujer, y sepúltenla, pues es hija de un rey.»
35 Pero cuando fueron para sepultarla, no hallaron de ella más que la calavera, los pies y las palmas de las manos. 36 Volvieron entonces a decirle esto a Jehú, y él sentenció:
«Ésta es la palabra de Dios, pronunciada por medio de su siervo, Elías el tisbita, cuando dijo: “En el campo de Jezrel los perros se comerán el cuerpo de Jezabel.(E) 37 Allí, en el campo de Jezrel, el cuerpo de Jezabel será semejante al estiércol en el suelo, de modo que nadie podrá reconocerla.”»

Jehu Anointed King of Israel
9 The prophet Elisha summoned a man from the company(A) of the prophets and said to him, “Tuck your cloak into your belt,(B) take this flask of olive oil(C) with you and go to Ramoth Gilead.(D) 2 When you get there, look for Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi. Go to him, get him away from his companions and take him into an inner room. 3 Then take the flask and pour the oil(E) on his head and declare, ‘This is what the Lord says: I anoint you king over Israel.’ Then open the door and run; don’t delay!”
4 So the young prophet went to Ramoth Gilead. 5 When he arrived, he found the army officers sitting together. “I have a message for you, commander,” he said.
“For which of us?” asked Jehu.
“For you, commander,” he replied.
6 Jehu got up and went into the house. Then the prophet poured the oil(F) on Jehu’s head and declared, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anoint you king over the Lord’s people Israel. 7 You are to destroy the house of Ahab your master, and I will avenge(G) the blood of my servants(H) the prophets and the blood of all the Lord’s servants shed by Jezebel.(I) 8 The whole house(J) of Ahab will perish. I will cut off from Ahab every last male(K) in Israel—slave or free.[a] 9 I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam(L) son of Nebat and like the house of Baasha(M) son of Ahijah. 10 As for Jezebel, dogs(N) will devour her on the plot of ground at Jezreel, and no one will bury her.’” Then he opened the door and ran.
11 When Jehu went out to his fellow officers, one of them asked him, “Is everything all right? Why did this maniac(O) come to you?”
“You know the man and the sort of things he says,” Jehu replied.
12 “That’s not true!” they said. “Tell us.”
Jehu said, “Here is what he told me: ‘This is what the Lord says: I anoint you king over Israel.’”
13 They quickly took their cloaks and spread(P) them under him on the bare steps. Then they blew the trumpet(Q) and shouted, “Jehu is king!”
Jehu Kills Joram and Ahaziah(R)
14 So Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, conspired against Joram. (Now Joram and all Israel had been defending Ramoth Gilead(S) against Hazael king of Aram, 15 but King Joram[b] had returned to Jezreel to recover(T) from the wounds the Arameans had inflicted on him in the battle with Hazael king of Aram.) Jehu said, “If you desire to make me king, don’t let anyone slip out of the city to go and tell the news in Jezreel.” 16 Then he got into his chariot and rode to Jezreel, because Joram was resting there and Ahaziah(U) king of Judah had gone down to see him.
17 When the lookout(V) standing on the tower in Jezreel saw Jehu’s troops approaching, he called out, “I see some troops coming.”
“Get a horseman,” Joram ordered. “Send him to meet them and ask, ‘Do you come in peace?(W)’”
18 The horseman rode off to meet Jehu and said, “This is what the king says: ‘Do you come in peace?’”
“What do you have to do with peace?” Jehu replied. “Fall in behind me.”
The lookout reported, “The messenger has reached them, but he isn’t coming back.”
19 So the king sent out a second horseman. When he came to them he said, “This is what the king says: ‘Do you come in peace?’”
Jehu replied, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me.”
20 The lookout reported, “He has reached them, but he isn’t coming back either. The driving is like(X) that of Jehu son of Nimshi—he drives like a maniac.”
21 “Hitch up my chariot,” Joram ordered. And when it was hitched up, Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah rode out, each in his own chariot, to meet Jehu. They met him at the plot of ground that had belonged to Naboth(Y) the Jezreelite. 22 When Joram saw Jehu he asked, “Have you come in peace, Jehu?”
“How can there be peace,” Jehu replied, “as long as all the idolatry and witchcraft of your mother Jezebel(Z) abound?”
23 Joram turned about and fled, calling out to Ahaziah, “Treachery,(AA) Ahaziah!”
24 Then Jehu drew his bow(AB) and shot Joram between the shoulders. The arrow pierced his heart and he slumped down in his chariot. 25 Jehu said to Bidkar, his chariot officer, “Pick him up and throw him on the field that belonged to Naboth the Jezreelite. Remember how you and I were riding together in chariots behind Ahab his father when the Lord spoke this prophecy(AC) against him: 26 ‘Yesterday I saw the blood of Naboth(AD) and the blood of his sons, declares the Lord, and I will surely make you pay for it on this plot of ground, declares the Lord.’[c] Now then, pick him up and throw him on that plot, in accordance with the word of the Lord.”(AE)
27 When Ahaziah king of Judah saw what had happened, he fled up the road to Beth Haggan.[d] Jehu chased him, shouting, “Kill him too!” They wounded him in his chariot on the way up to Gur near Ibleam,(AF) but he escaped to Megiddo(AG) and died there. 28 His servants took him by chariot(AH) to Jerusalem and buried him with his ancestors in his tomb in the City of David. 29 (In the eleventh(AI) year of Joram son of Ahab, Ahaziah had become king of Judah.)
Jezebel Killed
30 Then Jehu went to Jezreel. When Jezebel heard about it, she put on eye makeup,(AJ) arranged her hair and looked out of a window. 31 As Jehu entered the gate, she asked, “Have you come in peace, you Zimri,(AK) you murderer of your master?”[e]
32 He looked up at the window and called out, “Who is on my side? Who?” Two or three eunuchs looked down at him. 33 “Throw her down!” Jehu said. So they threw her down, and some of her blood spattered the wall and the horses as they trampled her underfoot.(AL)
34 Jehu went in and ate and drank. “Take care of that cursed woman,” he said, “and bury her, for she was a king’s daughter.”(AM) 35 But when they went out to bury her, they found nothing except her skull, her feet and her hands. 36 They went back and told Jehu, who said, “This is the word of the Lord that he spoke through his servant Elijah the Tishbite: On the plot of ground at Jezreel dogs(AN) will devour Jezebel’s flesh.[f](AO) 37 Jezebel’s body will be like dung(AP) on the ground in the plot at Jezreel, so that no one will be able to say, ‘This is Jezebel.’”

2 Kings 9
King James Version
9 And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this box of oil in thine hand, and go to Ramothgilead:
2 And when thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brethren, and carry him to an inner chamber;
3 Then take the box of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, Thus saith the Lord, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not.
4 So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramothgilead.
5 And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said, Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, O captain.
6 And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of the Lord, even over Israel.
7 And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, at the hand of Jezebel.
8 For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel:
9 And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah:
10 And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.
11 Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this mad fellow to thee? And he said unto them, Ye know the man, and his communication.
12 And they said, It is false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus saith the Lord, I have anointed thee king over Israel.
13 Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with trumpets, saying, Jehu is king.
14 So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram had kept Ramothgilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria.
15 But king Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If it be your minds, then let none go forth nor escape out of the city to go to tell it in Jezreel.
16 So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah was come down to see Joram.
17 And there stood a watchman on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take an horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace?
18 So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he cometh not again.
19 Then he sent out a second on horseback, which came to them, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me.
20 And the watchman told, saying, He came even unto them, and cometh not again: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously.
21 And Joram said, Make ready. And his chariot was made ready. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out against Jehu, and met him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.
22 And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?
23 And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O Ahaziah.
24 And Jehu drew a bow with his full strength, and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.
25 Then said Jehu to Bidkar his captain, Take up, and cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for remember how that, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, the Lord laid this burden upon him;
26 Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith the Lord; and I will requite thee in this plat, saith the Lord. Now therefore take and cast him into the plat of ground, according to the word of the Lord.
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 going up to Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.
28 And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.
29 And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah.
30 And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at 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 there looked out to him two or three eunuchs.
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 when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed woman, and bury her: for she is a king's daughter.
35 And 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 Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the Lord, which he spake by his servant 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 they shall not say, This is Jezebel.
