17. The LORD's word came to ELIJAH the Tishbite, saying,

18. "Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwells in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it.

19. You shall speak to him, saying, 'The LORD says, "Have you killed and also taken possession?"' You shall speak to him, saying, 'The LORD says, "In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs will lick your blood, even yours."'"

20. Ahab said to ELIJAH, "Have you found me, my enemy?"He answered, "I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in The LORD's sight.

21. Behold, I will bring evil on you, and will utterly sweep you away and will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, and him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.

22. I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah for the provocation with which you have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel to sin."

23. The LORD also spoke of Jezebel, saying, "The dogs will eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel.

24. The dogs will eat he who dies of Ahab in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he who dies in the field."

25. But there was no one like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in The LORD's sight, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.

26. He did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

27. When Ahab heard those words, he tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.

28. The LORD's word came to ELIJAH the Tishbite, saying,

29. "See how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but I will bring the evil on his house in his son's day."

25. Then Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, "Pick him up, and throw him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember how, when you and I rode together after Ahab his father, the LORD laid this burden on him:

26. 'Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons,' says The LORD; 'and I will repay you in this plot of ground,' says The LORD. Now therefore take and cast him onto the plot of ground, according to The LORD's word."

27. But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. Jehu followed after him, and said, "Strike him also in the chariot!" They struck him at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. He fled to Megiddo, and died there.

28. His servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in David's city.

29. In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab, Ahaziah began to reign over Judah.

30. When Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and adorned her head, and looked out at the window.

31. As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, "Do you come in peace, Zimri, you murderer of your master?"

32. He lifted up his face to the window, and said, "Who is on my side? Who?"Two or three eunuchs looked out at him.

33. He said, "Throw her down!"So they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses. Then he trampled her under foot.

34. When he had come in, he ate and drank. Then he said, "See now to this cursed woman, and bury her; for she is a king's daughter."

35. They went to bury her, but they found no more of her than the skull, the feet, and the palms of her hands.

36. Therefore they came back, and told him.He said, "This is The LORD's word, which he spoke by his servant ELIJAH the Tishbite, saying, 'The dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel on the plot of Jezreel,

37. and the body of Jezebel will be as dung on the face of the field on Jezreel's land, so that they won't say, "This is Jezebel."'"
