When Jehu entered the city gate, Jezebel said, “Have you come in peace, you Zimri, you who killed your master?” Jehu looked up at the window and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” Two or three servants looked out the window at Jehu. He said to them, “Throw her down.” So they threw Jezebel down, and the horses ran over her. Some of her blood splashed on the wall and on the horses. Jehu went into the house and ate and drank. Then he said, “Now see about this cursed woman. Bury her, because she is a king’s daughter.” The men went to bury Jezebel, but they could not find her. They found only her skull, feet, and the palms of her hands. When they came back and told Jehu, he said, “The LORD said this through his servant Elijah the Tishbite: ‘The dogs will eat Jezebel at Jezreel. Her body will be like manure on the field in the land at Jezreel. No one will be able to say that this is Jezebel.’ ”

What began as a victorious return to the land in Joshua ends in destruction, defeat, and exile in 2 Kings. The idolatry and sinfulness of Israel and Judah lead to their expulsion from the land - a final ignominy in a long history of unfaithfulness. Yet even in exile, God was preserving his people and the line of David for a future coming King, whose reign would know no end.
