2 Kings 9:33-37

Context
9:33 He said, “Throw her down!” So they threw her down, and when she hit the ground, 1  her blood splattered against the wall and the horses, and Jehu drove his chariot over her. 2  9:34 He went inside and had a meal. 3  Then he said, “Dispose of this accursed woman’s corpse. Bury her, for after all, she was a king’s daughter.” 4  9:35 But when they went to bury her, they found nothing left but 5  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, 6  ‘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.’” 7
