2 Kings 9:27-37 Amplified Bible (AMP)

27. When Ahaziah king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. Jehu followed him and said, Smite him also in the chariot. And they did so at the ascent to Gur, which is by Ibleam. And [Ahaziah] fled to Megiddo and died there.

28. His servants took him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulcher with his fathers in the City of David.

29. In the eleventh year of Joram son of Ahab, Ahaziah's reign over Judah began.

30. Now when Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it, and she painted her eyes and beautified her head and looked out of [an upper] window.

31. And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, [Have you come in] peace, you Zimri, who slew his master? [I Kings 16:9, 10.]

32. Jehu lifted up his face to the window and said, Who is on my side? Who? And two or three eunuchs looked out at him.

33. And he said, Throw her down! So they threw her down, and some of her blood splattered on the wall and on the horses, and he drove over her.

34. When he came in, he ate and drank, and 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 nothing left of her except the skull, feet, and palms of her hands.

36. They came again and told Jehu. He said, This is the word of the Lord which He spoke by His servant Elijah the Tishbite, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel. [I Kings 21:23.]

37. The corpse of Jezebel shall be like dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.
