2 Ki. 9: Jehu Cleans House

2 Kings 9:22 "When Joram saw Jehu he asked, 'Have you come in peace, Jehu?'
'How can there be peace,' Jehu replied, 'as long as all the idolatry and witchcraft of your mother Jezebel abound?'"

All riiiiiight. Action! Finally someone does something about this bunch of evildoers. Jehu is anointed king over Israel by a prophet, and is given instructions to destroy the current despots in charge. It was getting kind of tiresome to read about how all these guys in a row were evil, and were deeply into sin. Jehu must have been a man of some reputation or heart to be anointed by God as the king of Isreal. For so long, men have just assumed power, by birthrite or by bloody coup. The last king anointed by God was...Solomon. Long dead.

Jehu then goes about his business in speedy fashion, driving his chariot like a madman. He bumrushes Jezreel, where Joram and Ahaziah were hanging out, recovering from their battle with Hazael. The lookouts see this maniac driving across the plain, pedal to the metal, and send out messengers. He blows by them , bringing his troops straight into Jezreel like a scene out of Lord of the Rings. Joram is Arrowed!! by Jehu himself, and Ahaziah is wounded, dying a short time later in Megiddo.

What happens to Jezebel? She's thrown out of the castle by some eunuchs, and then later when they go to bury her, dogs have eaten her corpse. Tasty. She was unrecognizable as Jezebel. Awesome.
