30 When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it. And she painted her eyes and adorned her head and looked out of the window. 31 And as Jehu entered the gate, she said, “Is it peace, you Zimri, murderer of your master?” 32 And 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 spattered on the wall and on the horses, and they trampled on her.34 Then he went in and ate and drank. And he said, “See now to this cursed woman and bury her, for she is a king's daughter.”
Jehu is among my favourite kings. in fact he's # 4 or 5. It's important to know the order of things, clearly it was time for a snack and then see to the burial. it all worked out, right? Also note that mocking/sarcasm in verse 31 is not a good thing to use in the face of imminent death from a really good archer. It's too bad Jehu wasn't more well rounded, he seems only good at killing and being intense.
