2 Kings 9:26-28
English Standard Version Anglicised
26 ‘As surely as I saw yesterday the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons—declares the Lord—I will repay you on this plot of ground.’ Now therefore take him up and throw him on the plot of ground, in accordance with the word of the Lord.”
27 (A)When Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled in the direction of Beth-haggan. And Jehu pursued him and said, “Shoot him also.” And they shot him[a] in the chariot at the ascent of Gur, which is by (B)Ibleam. And he fled to (C)Megiddo and died there. 28 (D)His servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in the city of David.
