2 Kings 9:27-33 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

27. When Ahaziah king of Judah saw, he fled the way of Beth-Haggen. Jehu pursued after him and said, “Shoot him also, in the chariot.” They shot him at the ascent of Gur which is in Ibleam, and he fled to Megiddo, but he died there.

28. Then his officers carried him to Jerusalem, and they buried him in his tomb with his ancestors in the city of David.

29. In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab, Ahaziah had become king over Judah.

30. When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it, so she painted her eyes with black eye paint and adorned her head and looked through the window.

31. Now Jehu had come in the gate, so she said, “Is it peace, O Zimri, murderer of his master?”

32. When he lifted up his face to the window, he asked, “Who is with me?” Two or three eunuchs looked down to him.

33. So he said, “Throw her down.” So they threw her down, and her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses, and they trampled her.
