The Scriptures 1998

2 Kings 9:28-37 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

28. Then his servants conveyed him in the chariot to Yerushalayim, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in the City of Dawiḏ.

29. And in the eleventh year of Yoram son of Aḥaḇ, Aḥazyah began to reign over Yehuḏah.

30. And Yĕhu came to Yizre‛ĕl, and Izeḇel heard of it. And she put paint on her eyes and adorned her head, and looked through a window.

31. And as Yĕhu came to the gate, she said, “Is it peace, Zimri, slayer of your master?”

32. And he lifted up his face to the window and said, “Who is with me? Who?” And two, three eunuchs looked down to him.

33. And he said, “Throw her down.” And they threw her down, and some of her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses, and he trampled her under foot.

34. And he went in, and he ate and drank, and said, “Go now, see to this cursed one, and bury her, for she was a sovereign’s daughter.”

35. So they went to bury her, but all they found of her was the skull and the feet and the palms of the hands.

36. And they came back and informed him. And he said, “This is the word of יהוה, which He spoke by His servant Ěliyahu the Tishbite, saying, ‘In the portion of Yizre‛ĕl dogs are going to eat the flesh of Izeḇel,

37. and the corpse of Izeḇel shall be as dung on the surface of the field, in the portion of Yizre‛ĕl, so that they do not say, “This is Izeḇel.” ’ ”
