Jehu said to Bidkar his aide,“ Pick him up and throw him on the plot of ground belonging to Naboth the Jezreelite. For remember when you and I were riding side by side behind his father Ahab, and the Lord uttered this oracle against him:‘ As surely as I saw the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons yesterday’— this is the Lord’s declaration—‘ so will I repay you on this plot of land’— this is the Lord’s declaration. So now, according to the word of the Lord, pick him up and throw him on the plot of land.”

and he said,“ Throw her down!” So they threw her down, and some of her blood splattered on the wall and on the horses, and Jehu rode over her.Then he went in, ate and drank, and said,“ Take care of this cursed woman and bury her, since she’s a king’s daughter.”But when they went out to bury her, they did not find anything but her skull, her feet, and the palms of her hands.So they went back and told him, and he said,“ This fulfills the Lord’s word that He spoke through His servant Elijah the Tishbite:‘ In the plot of land at Jezreel, the dogs will eat Jezebel’s flesh.Jezebel’s corpse will be like manure on the surface of the field in the plot of land at Jezreel so that no one will be able to say: This is Jezebel.’”Since Ahab had 70 sons in Samaria, Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria to the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and to the guardians of Ahab’s sons, saying:When this letter arrives, since your master’s sons are with you and you have chariots, horses, a fortified city, and weaponry,select the most qualified of your master’s sons, set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.However, they were terrified and reasoned,“ Look, two kings couldn’t stand against him; how can we?”So the overseer of the palace, the overseer of the city, the elders, and the guardians sent a message to Jehu:“ We are your servants, and we will do whatever you tell us. We will not make anyone king. Do whatever you think is right.”Then Jehu wrote them a second letter, saying: If you are on my side, and if you will obey me, bring me the heads of your master’s sons at this time tomorrow at Jezreel. All 70 of the king’s sons were being cared for by the city’s prominent men.When the letter came to them, they took the king’s sons and slaughtered all 70, put their heads in baskets, and sent them to Jehu at Jezreel.
