*
And when Jehu was come to Jezreel ,
Jezebel heard [
of it ];
and she painted her face ,
and tired her head ,
and (
note :)
Being of a harsh and cruel nature ,
she would still retain her royal state and dignity .(:
note )
looked out at a window .
*
And as Jehu entered in at the gate ,
she said , [
Had ] (

As if to say , «
Can a traitor or anyone who rises against his superior succeed ?»,
see (
1Ki_16
:10 ).(:
note )
Zimri peace ,
who slew his master ?
*
And he lift vp his eyes to the windowe ,
and sayd ,
Who is on my side ,
who ?
Then two or three of her Eunuches looked vnto him .
*
And he said ,
Throw her down .
So they threw her down : (

This he did by the moving of the Spirit of God ,
that her blood would be shed ,
who had shed the blood of innocents ,
to be a spectacle and example of God '
s judgment for all tyrants .(:
note )
and [
some ]
of her blood was sprinkled on the wall ,
and on the horses :
and he trode her under foot .
*
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 ]

s daughter .
*
And they went to burie her ,
but they foud no more of her ,
then the skull and the feete ,
and the palmes of her handes .
*
Wherefore they came agayne and tolde him ;
he said ,
This is the worde of the Lorde ,
which he spake by his seruant Eliiah the Tishbite ,
saying ,
In the fielde of Izreel shall ye dogs eate the flesh of Iezebel .
*
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 , (
note :)
Thus God '
s judgments appear even in this world against those who suppress his word and persecute his servants .(:
note )
This [
is ]
Jezebel .
