THE DEATH OF JEZEBEL.

And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted

her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window. And as Jehu

entered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master?

And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side?

who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs. And he said, Throw

her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on

the wall, and on the horses and he trod her under foot. And when he was

come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed woman,

and bury her: for she is a king's daughter. And they went to bury her:

but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms

of her hands. Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This

is the word of the Lord, which he spake by his servant Elijah the

Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of

Jezebel: and the carcass of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the

field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is

Jezebel.--2 Kings ix, 30-37.
