Jehu kills Joram; Jezebel dies at Jezreel
Jehu drove to Jezreel, killed Joram of Israel, and pursued Ahaziah of Judah. Jezebel was thrown from a window at Jehu's command, and her death fulfilled the word of the LORD spoken through Elijah (2 Kings 9:14-37).
14Thus Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, conspired against Joram. (Now Joram and all Israel had been defending Ramoth-gilead against Hazael king of Aram, 15but King Joram had returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he had suffered at the hands of the Arameans in the battle against Hazael their king.) So Jehu said, “If you commanders wish to make me king, then do not let anyone escape from the city to go and tell it in Jezreel.” 16Then Jehu got into his chariot and went to Jezreel, because Joram was laid up there and Ahaziah king of Judah had gone down to see him.
