4 Kings 9:30-37 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

30. And Jehu came into Jezrahel. But Jezabel hearing of his coming in, painted her face with stibic stone, and adorned her head, and looked out of a window

31. At Jehu coming in at the gate, and said: Can there be peace for Zambri, that hath killed his master?

32. And Jehu lifted up his face to the window, and said: Who is this? And two or three eunuchs bowed down to him.

33. And he said to them: Throw her down headlong: and they threw her down, and the wall was sprinkled with her blood, and the hoofs of the horses trod upon her.

34. And when he was come in, to eat, and to drink, he said: Go, and see after that cursed woman, and bury her: because she is a king's daughter.

35. And when they went to bury her, they found nothing but the skull, and the feet, and the extremities of her hands.

36. And coming back they told him. And Jehu said: It is the word of the Lord, which he spoke by his servant Elias the Thesbite, saying: In the field of Jezrahel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezabel,

37. And the flesh of Jezabel shall be as dung upon the face of the earth in the field of Jezrahel, so that they who pass by shall say: Is this that same Jezabel?
