2 Kings 9:10

JezebelJezreel

8 The whole house of Ahab will perish, and I will cut off from Ahab every male, both slave and free, in Israel.

9 I will make the house of Ahab like the houses of Jeroboam son of Nebat and Baasha son of Ahijah.

And on the plot of ground at Jezreel the dogs will devour Jezebel, and there will be no one to bury her.’” Then the young prophet opened the door and ran.

11 When Jehu went out to the servants of his master, they asked, “Is everything all right? Why did this madman come to you?” “You know his kind and their babble,” he replied.

12 “That is a lie!” they said. “Tell us now!” So Jehu answered, “He talked to me about this and that, and he said, ‘This is what the LORD says: I anoint you king over Israel.’”
