New English Translation

³⁰Jehu approached Jezreel. When Jezebel heard the news, she put on some eye liner,^[a] fixed up her hair, and leaned out the window.

2 Kings 9:30 tn Heb “she fixed her eyes with antimony.” Antimony (פּוּךְ, pukh) was used as a cosmetic. The narrator portrays her as a prostitute (see Jer 4:30), a role she has played in the spiritual realm (see the note at v. 22).
