Now when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel adorned herself and stood
upon a tower, and said, he was a fine servant that had killed his master!
And when he looked up to her, he asked who she was, and commanded her to
come down to him. At last he ordered the eunuchs to throw her down from
the tower; and being thrown down, she be-sprinkled the wall with her blood,
and was trodden upon by the horses, and so died. When this was done, Jehu
came to the palace with his friends, and took some refreshment after his
journey, both with other things, and by eating a meal. He also bid his
servants to take up Jezebel and bury her, because of the nobility of her
blood, for she was descended from kings; but those that were appointed
to bury her found nothing else remaining but the extreme parts of her body,
for all the rest were eaten by dogs. When Jehu heard this, he admired the
prophecy of Elijah, for he foretold that she should perish in this manner
at Jezreel.
