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
