2 Kings 9:30-37

Modern English Version

Jezebel Executed

³⁰ When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard about it. She put black paint on her eyes, adorned her head, and looked down through the window. ³¹ As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, “Is everything all right, Zimri, murderer of his master?”

³² And he lifted up his face toward the window and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” And two or three eunuchs looked down to him. ³³ He said, “Drop her down.” So they dropped her down and some of her blood splattered on the wall and on the horses. Then he trampled her.

³⁴ Then he entered, ate and drank, and said, “Attend to that cursed woman and bury her, for she is a king’s daughter.” ³⁵ So they went to bury her, but they found nothing of her except a skull, the feet, and the palms of her hands. ³⁶ They returned and told Jehu, and he said, “This is the word of the Lord, which He spoke by His servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, ‘On the property of Jezreel dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel. ³⁷ The corpse of Jezebel will be like dung in the field on the property of Jezreel, so that they cannot say, This is Jezebel.’ ”
