"The Emancipation of Massachusetts"

...
"But king Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which
the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria....
"So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there....
"And Joram ... went out ... in his chariot, ... against Jehu.... And it
came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he
answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and
her witchcrafts are so many?
"And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is
treachery, O Ahaziah.
"And Jehu drew a bow with his full strength, and smote Jehoram between his
arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his
chariot....
"But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the
garden house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in the
chariot. And they did so....
"And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted
her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window.
"And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew
his master?...
"And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her
blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trod her under
foot....
"And Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria.
