9:29. In the eleventh year of Joram, the son of Achab, Ochozias reigned
over Juda;
9:30. And Jehu came into Jezrahel. But Jezabel, hearing of his coming
in, painted her face with stibic stone, and adorned her head, and looked
out of a window.
9:31. At Jehu coming in at the gate, and said: Can there be peace for
Zambri, that hath killed his master?
9:32. And Jehu lifted up his face to the window, and said: Who is this?
And two or three eunuchs bowed down to him.
9:33. And he said to them: Throw her down headlong; And they threw her
down, and the wall was sprinkled with her blood, and the hoofs of the
horses trod upon her.
9:34. And when he was come in to eat, and to drink, he said: Go, and see
after that cursed woman, and bury her; because she is a king's daughter.
9:35. And when they went to bury her, they found nothing but the skull,
and the feet, and the extremities of her hands.
9:36. And coming back they told him. And Jehu said: It is the word of
the Lord, which he spoke by his servant Elias, the Thesbite, saying: In
the field of Jezrahel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezabel.
9:37. And the flesh of Jezabel shall be as dung upon the face of the
earth in the field of Jezrahel; so that they who pass by shall say: Is
this that same Jezabel?
4 Kings Chapter 10
Jehu destroyeth the house of Achab: abolisheth the worship of Baal, and
killeth the worshippers: but sticketh to the calves of Jeroboam. Israel
is afflicted by the Syrians.
10:1. And Achab had seventy sons in Samaria: so Jehu wrote letters, and
sent to Samaria, to the chief men of the city, and to the ancients, and
to them that brought up Achab's children, saying:
10:2. As soon as you receive these letters, ye that have your master's
sons, and chariots, and horses, and fenced cities, and armour,
10:3. Choose the best, and him that shall please you most of your
master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for the
house of your master.
10:4. But they were exceedingly afraid, and said: Behold two kings could
not stand before him, and how shall we be able to resist?
10:5. Therefore they that were over the king's house, and the rulers of
the city, and the ancients, and the bringers up of the children, sent to
Jehu, saying: We are thy servants: whatsoever thou shalt command us we
will do; we will not make us any king: do thou all that pleaseth thee.
10:6. And he wrote letters the second time to them, saying: If you be
mine, and will obey me, take the heads of the sons of your master, and
come to me to Jezrahel by tomorrow at this time. Now the king's sons,
being seventy men, were brought up with the chief men of the city.
10:7. And when the letters came to them, they took the king's sons, and
slew seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to
him to Jezrahel.
10:8. And a messenger came, and told him, saying: They have brought the
heads of the king's sons. And he said: Lay ye them in two heaps by the
entering in of the gate until the morning.
10:9. And when it was light, he went out, and standing, said to all the
people: You are just: if I conspired against my master, and slew him;
who hath slain all these?
10:10. See therefore now that there hath not fallen to the ground any of
the words of the Lord, which the Lord spoke concerning the house of
Achab, and the Lord hath done that which he spoke in the hand of his
servant Elias.
10:11. So Jehu slew all that were left of the honse of Achab in
Jezrahel, and all his chief men, and his friends, and his priests, till
there were no remains left of him.
