    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 was come in, he ate and drink; and he said, "See now to this cursed woman, and bury her; for she is a king's daughter."

    37 and the body of Jezebel shall be as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, so that they shall not say, "This is Jezebel."'"
