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.

Verse 35 is found in chapter 9 of 2 Kings. Jezebel appears at the window when Jehu enters Jezreel. Her death and the subsequent desecration of her remains graphically fulfill the earlier prophetic word. The narrative recalls her role in promoting idolatry and persecuting the prophets. Dogs consume her remains, so she receives no honorable royal burial. The scene functions as the symbolic conclusion of Jezebel’s influence and as a demonstration that the announced judgment against Ahab’s house reaches even the figure who exercised great influence over it.

Da sie aber hingingen, sie zu begraben, fanden sie nichts von ihr denn den Schädel und die Füße und ihre flachen Hände.
Empero cuando fueron para sepultarla, no hallaron de ella más que la calavera, y los pies, y las palmas de las manos.
Fueron a sepultarla, pero solo encontraron el cráneo, los pies y las palmas de las manos.
Ils allèrent pour l'enterrer; mais ils ne trouvèrent d'elle que le crâne, les pieds et les paumes des mains.
Essi adunque andarono per sotterrarla; ma non vi trovarono altro che il teschio, e i piedi, e le palme delle mani.
E foram para a sepultar; porém não acharam dela senão somente a caveira, os pés e as palmas das mãos.
他們去了,要埋葬她,卻只找到她的頭骨和腳,以及手掌。
