¹⁹ Say to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Have you not murdered a man and seized his property?’^(A) Then say to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: In the place where dogs licked up Naboth’s blood,^(B) dogs^(C) will lick up your blood—yes, yours!’”

³⁸ They washed the chariot at a pool in Samaria (where the prostitutes bathed),^[a] and the dogs^(A) licked up his blood, as the word of the Lord had declared.

¹⁷ And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds^(A) flying in midair,^(B) “Come,^(C) gather together for the great supper of God,^{(D) 18} so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people,^(E) free and slave,^(F) great and small.”^(G)

¹⁹ Then I saw the beast^(H) and the kings of the earth^(I) and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse^(J) and his army. ²⁰ But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet^(K) who had performed the signs^(L) on its behalf.^(M) With these signs he had deluded^(N) those who had received the mark of the beast^(O) and worshiped its image.^(P) The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake^(Q) of burning sulfur.^{(R) 21} The rest were killed with the sword^(S) coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse,^(T) and all the birds^(U) gorged themselves on their flesh.

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.^(A)

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.”^{(B) 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^(C) will devour Jezebel’s flesh.^{[a](D) 37} Jezebel’s body will be like dung^(E) on the ground in the plot at Jezreel, so that no one will be able to say, ‘This is Jezebel.’”
