And he (Jehu) said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trode her under foot. 34 And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed woman, and bury her: for she is a kings daughter. 35 And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands. 36 Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic scene from the Bible - "The death of Jezebel". Illustrated by William Hole, this powerful image depicts the chilling moment when Jezebel, wife of Ahab and mother of King Jehoram, meets her gruesome end. According to 2 Kings 9:33-36, Jehu orders Jezebel to be thrown down from a height. As she falls, her blood splatters on the wall and horses below before being trampled underfoot. Hole's illustration skillfully conveys the intensity and horror of this biblical event. The dark tones and intricate details bring forth an atmosphere of tension and despair. Through his brushstrokes, we witness the fulfillment of Elijah's prophecy that dogs would devour Jezebel's flesh in Jezreel. This artwork not only serves as a visual representation but also evokes contemplation about religious themes such as divine retribution and the consequences of one's actions. It reminds us that even those in positions of power are subject to judgment. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to ancient antiquity where these events unfolded. It is a testament to both Hole's artistic talent and his deep understanding of biblical narratives. "The death of Jezebel" is just one example among many illustrations found within Old Testament History by William Hole. This collection offers valuable insights into Christian literature while providing a glimpse into religious traditions such as Judaism.
