2 Kings 9:32-37

9:32 He looked up at the window and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” Two or three ¹  eunuchs looked down at him. 9:33 He said, “Throw her down!” So they threw her down, and when she hit the ground, ²  her blood splattered against the wall and the horses, and Jehu drove his chariot over her. ³  9:34 He went inside and had a meal. ⁴  Then he said, “Dispose of this accursed woman’s corpse. Bury her, for after all, she was a king’s daughter.” ⁵  9:35 But when they went to bury her, they found nothing left but ⁶  the skull, feet, and palms of the hands. 9:36 When they went back and told him, he said, “The Lord’s word through his servant, Elijah the Tishbite, has come to pass. He warned, ⁷  ‘In the plot of land at Jezreel, dogs will devour Jezebel’s flesh. 9:37 Jezebel’s corpse will be like manure on the surface of the ground in the plot of land at Jezreel. People will not be able to even recognize her.’” ⁸
