2 Kings 9:35-36

9:35 But when they went to bury her, they found nothing left but ¹  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, ²  ‘In the plot of land at Jezreel, dogs will devour Jezebel’s flesh.

2 Kings 9:1

Jehu Becomes King

9:1 Now Elisha the prophet summoned a member of the prophetic guild ³  and told him, “Tuck your robes into your belt, take this container ⁴  of olive oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth Gilead.

2 Kings 21:23

21:23 Amon’s servants conspired against him and killed the king in his palace.

Jeremiah 22:19

22:19 He will be left unburied just like a dead donkey.

His body will be dragged off and thrown outside the gates of Jerusalem.’” ⁵ 

¹ tn Heb “they did not find her, except for.”

² tn Heb “It is the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of his servant, Elijah the Tishbite, saying.”

³ tn Heb “one of the sons of the prophets.”

⁴ tn Or “flask.”

⁵ sn A similar judgment against this ungodly king is pronounced by Jeremiah in 36:30. According to 2 Chr 36:6 he was bound over to be taken captive to Babylon but apparently died before he got there. According to the Jewish historian Josephus, Nebuchadnezzar ordered his body thrown outside the wall in fulfillment of this judgment. The Bible itself, however, does not tell us that.
