Ngalokho ekukhambeni kwesikhathi uJehova wathumela uJehu bonyana ayomjezisa. Lokha uJezebheli nakezwako bona uJehu uyeza, wazimonyonga wazenza waba muhle. Kodwana lokha uJehu nekafikako abona uJezebheli efesidereni, wabiza amadoda angendlini yekosi wathi kiwo: ‘Mphoseleni phasi!’ Amadoda la amlalela, njengombana ubona esithombenesi. Amphosela phasi wafa. Lesi kwaba siphelo seNdlovukazi engakalungi uJezebheli.
