And the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.

Verse 37 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.

und das Aas Isebels soll wie Kot auf dem Felde sein im Acker Jesreels, daß man nicht sagen könne: Das ist Isebel.
Y el cuerpo de Jezabel fue cual estiércol sobre la faz de la tierra en la heredad de Jezreel; de manera que nadie pueda decir: Esta es Jezabel.
El cadáver de Jezabel será como estiércol sobre la superficie del campo en el terreno de Jezreel, de modo que nadie podrá decir: Esta es Jezabel”».
et le cadavre de Jézabel sera comme du fumier sur la face des champs, dans le champ de Jizreel, de sorte qu'on ne pourra dire: C'est Jézabel.
E il corpo morto d’Izebel sarà come sterco in su la campagna, nel campo d’Izreel; talchè non si potrà dire: Questo è Izebel
E o cadáver de Jezabel será como esterco sobre o campo, na herdade de Jizreel; de modo que não se possa dizer: Esta é Jezabel.
耶洗別 的屍體必在 耶斯列 田裏的地面上如同糞土,甚至沒有人可說:這是 耶洗別 。』」
