Bible. Kings, 2nd
12:009:030 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.
12:009:031 And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace,
who slew his master?
12:009:032 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.
12:009:033 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 trode her under foot.
12:009:034 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.
12:009:035 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.
12:009:036 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:
12:009:037 And the carcase 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.
12:010:001 And Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters,
and sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel, to the
elders, and to them that brought up Ahab's children, saying,
12:010:002 Now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing your master's
sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses,
a fenced city also, and armour;
12:010:003 Look even out the best and meetest of your master's sons, and
set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's
house.
12:010:004 But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, two kings
stood not before him: how then shall we stand?
12:010:005 And he that was over the house, and he that was over the city,
the elders also, and the bringers up of the children, sent to
Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and will do all that thou
shalt bid us; we will not make any king: do thou that which is
good in thine eyes.
12:010:006 Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, If ye
be mine, and if ye will hearken unto my voice, take ye the
heads of the men your master's sons, and come to me to Jezreel
by to morrow this time. Now the king's sons, being seventy
persons, were with the great men of the city, which brought
them up.
12:010:007 And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they
took the king's sons, and slew seventy persons, and put their
heads in baskets, and sent him them to Jezreel.
