Jezebel's Violent Death
30 and Jehu came into Jezrahel. Moreover Jezabel hearing of his entrance, painted her face with stibic stone, and decked her head, & beheld through the window
31 Jehu coming at the gate, and said: Can there be peace to Zambri, that killed his master?
32 And Jehu lifted up his face to the window, and said: What is she? And two or three eunuchs bowed themselves to him.
33 But he said to them: Cast her down headlong, and they threw her down and the wall was sprinkled with the blood, and the hoofs of the horses trod her.
34 And when he was entered in to eat and to drink, he said: Go, and see 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 extreme parts of the hands.
36 And returning they told him. And Jehu said: It is the word of our Lord, which he spake by his servant Elias the Thesbite, saying: In the field of Jezrahel shall the dogs 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 which pass by shall say: Is this that same Jezabel?
