12:009:028 And his servants carried him in a chariot
to Jerusalem, and
buried
him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of
David.
12:009:029 And in the eleventh year of Joram the son
of Ahab began
Ahaziah
to reign over Judah.
12:009:030 And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel
heard of it; and
she
painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out
at a
window.
12:009:031 And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she
said, Had Zimri peace,
who
slew his master?
12:009:032 And he lifted up his face to the window,
and said, Who is on
my
side? who? And there looked out to him two or
three
eunuchs.
12:009:033 And he said, Throw her down. So they
threw her down: and some
of
her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses:
and
he
trode her under foot.
12:009:034 And when he was come in, he did eat and
drink, and said, Go,
see
now this cursed woman, and bury her: for she is
a king’s
daughter.
12:009:035 And they went to bury her: but they
found no more of her than
the
skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.
12:009:036 Wherefore they came again, and told him.
And he said, This is
the
word of the lord, which he spake by his servant
Elijah the
Tishbite,
saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the
flesh
of Jezebel:
12:009:037 And the carcase of Jezebel shall be as
dung upon the face of
the
field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall
not
say,
This is Jezebel.
12:010:001 And Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria.
And Jehu wrote letters,
and
sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel, to the
elders,
and to them that brought up Ahab’s children,
saying,
12:010:002 Now as soon as this letter cometh to you,
seeing your master’s
sons
are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses,
a
fenced city also, and armour;
12:010:003 Look even out the best and meetest of your
master’s sons, and
set
him on his father’s throne, and fight for your
master’s
house.
12:010:004 But they were exceedingly afraid, and said,
Behold, two kings
stood
not before him: how then shall we stand?
12:010:005 And he that was over the house, and he
that was over the city,
the
elders also, and the bringers up of the children, sent
to
Jehu,
saying, We are thy servants, and will do all that thou
shalt
bid us; we will not make any king: do thou that
which is
good
in thine eyes.
