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.
009:034 When he was come in, he ate and drink; and he said, See now to this
cursed woman, and bury her; for she is a king's daughter.
009:035 They went to bury her; but they found no more of her than the skull,
and the feet, and the palms of her hands.
009:036 Therefore they came back, and told him. He said, This is
the word of Yahweh, which he spoke by his servant Elijah
the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall the dogs
eat the flesh of Jezebel;
009:037 and the body of Jezebel shall be as dung on the face of the field
in the portion of Jezreel, so that they shall not say,
This is Jezebel.
010:001 Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. Jehu wrote letters,
and sent to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, even the elders,
and to those who brought up [the sons of] Ahab, saying,
010:002 Now as soon as this letter comes to you, seeing your master's
sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses,
a fortified city also, and armor;
010:003 look you out the best and meet of your master's sons, and set
him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house.
010:004 But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, the two
kings didn't stand before him: how then shall we stand?
010:005 He who was over the household, and he who was over the city,
the elders also, and those who brought up [the children],
sent to Jehu, saying, We are your servants, and will do
all that you shall bid us; we will not make any man king:
you do that which is good in your eyes.
010:006 Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying,
If you be on my side, and if you will listen to my voice,
take the heads of the men your master's sons, and come to me
to Jezreel by tomorrow this time. Now the king's sons,
being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city,
who brought them up.
010:007 It happened, when the letter came to them, that they took
the king's sons, and killed them, even seventy persons,
and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jezreel.
010:008 There came a messenger, and told him, saying, They have brought
the heads of the king's sons. He said, Lay you them in two
heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning.
010:009 It happened in the morning, that he went out, and stood,
and said to all the people, You are righteous:
behold, I conspired against my master, and killed him;
but who struck all these?
010:010 Know now that there shall fall to the earth nothing of the word
of Yahweh, which Yahweh spoke concerning the house of Ahab:
for Yahweh has done that which he spoke by his servant Elijah.
