Jezebel’s Violent Death

30 Now when Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; aand she put paint on her eyes and adorned her head, and looked through a window.  
31 Then, as Jehu entered at the gate, she said, a“Is it peace, Zimri, murderer of your master?”  
32 And he looked up at the window, and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” So two or three eunuchs looked out at him.
33 Then he said, “Throw her down.” So they threw her down, and some of her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses; and he trampled her underfoot.

2 Kings 9:31

Had Zimri peace , who slew his master ? - Jarchi paraphrases this place thus: "If thou hast slain thy master, it is no new thing; for Zimri also slew Elah, the son of Baasha;" which words were rather intended to conciliate than to provoke. But the words are understood by most of the versions thus: Health to Zimri, the slayer of his master!
