2 Kings 9:27-37
"27 When Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled in the direction of Beth-haggan. And Jehu pursued him and said, “Shoot him also.” And they shot him in the chariot at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo and died there. 28 His servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in the city of David.
29 In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab, Ahaziah began to reign over Judah.
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.” 35 But when they went to bury her, they found no more of her than the skull and the feet and the palms of her hands. 36 When they came back and told him, he said, “This is the word of the Lord, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite: ‘In the territory of Jezreel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezebel, 37 and the corpse of Jezebel shall be as dung on the face of the field in the territory of Jezreel, so that no one can say, This is Jezebel.’”"
The nemesis continues, and judgment rolls on like some huge, remorseless machine moving inexorably against all that stands in its way. Ahaziah, king of Judah is caught up in it, to his consternation. Ah, he that sups with the devil must use a long spoon, and Ahaziah's was not long enough by far. Let us see the needlessness of this tragedy. Judah might have been under the favour of God, for her kings had not sunk to the level of sin found in the northern kingdom. But foolhardy alliances with Israel's kings brought Judah into complicity with the northern evils, and consequently with their judgments also. This is one very practical, down-to-earth argument against the unequal yoke - it is too dangerous, and one has to pay dearly for it - too dearly, as Ahaziah found to his cost.
The fate of Jezebel makes grim and horrible reading, and it befell her as the man of God had prophesied. And she was brazen to the last (30). We have already commented upon the frenzy and madness that is the final issue of sin, and this is borne out in this passage in the final scene of Jezebel's sinful career. She died as she had lived, in baleful enmity against the living God. Is it not a terrible, frightening picture?
