2 Kings 9:30 Then Jehu went to Jezreel. When Jezebel heard about it, she put on eye makeup, arranged her hair and looked out of a window. 31 As Jehu entered the gate, she asked, “Have you come in peace, you Zimri, you murderer of your master?”
32 He looked up at the window and called out, “Who is on my side? Who?” Two or three eunuchs looked down at him. 33 “Throw her down!” Jehu said. So they threw her down, and some of her blood spattered the wall and the horses as they trampled her underfoot.
34 Jehu went in and ate and drank. “Take care of that cursed woman,” he said, “and bury her, for she was a king’s daughter.” 35 But when they went out to bury her, they found nothing except her skull, her feet and her hands. 36 They went back and told Jehu, who said, “This is the word of the Lord that he spoke through his servant Elijah the Tishbite: On the plot of ground at Jezreel dogs will devour Jezebel’s flesh. 37 Jezebel’s body will be like dung on the ground in the plot at Jezreel, so that no one will be able to say, ‘This is Jezebel.’”

Here's the link to the commentary I read.
Is it peace, Zimri: Jezebel called Jehu Zimri after the man who assassinated King Baasha of Israel (1 Kings 16:9-12), when Zimri was also the servant of Baasha, a commander in his army. It was her way of calling Jehu a despicable rebel.
So they threw her down: The eunuchs at the window probably worked for Jezebel, but they quickly responded to Jehu’s request for support. They probably had long despised this wicked, pagan queen.
He trampled her underfoot: In ancient near eastern cultures, this desecration of the dead body was a fate worse than death. Yet Jehu was completely untroubled at the ugly end of Jezebel; he ate and drank after trampling over her dead body and passing over the pavement splattered with her blood.
“Her brains, that devised mischief against the servants of God, are strewed upon the walls.” (Trapp)

Happy New Year!
Jezebel.... let's get back to Jezebel. The Eunuchs threw her out the window.... and she splatted and on top of that.... horses and chariots couldn't stop and they ran over her. Jezebel's blood was on the horses too.
Jezebel made an awful mess. Even the dogs got blood all over themselves and everything around them as they ripped out her guts and devoured her unidentifiable.
The eunuchs threw her out the window. No doubt, while she was the worst whore in history, she must have pissed off the eunuchs, because it was the eunuchs who threw her out the window.
I want to say the eunuchs are gay men. I want to say maybe those eunuchs were tired of the way Jezebel treated everyone. I want to say the eunuchs are gay men, but the Bible doesn't use the words homosexual and eunuch interchangeable, according to "Got Questions".
These men, the eunuchs, must have had a hormone deficiency. How could they be around beautiful naked women in the baths and not get excited? How could the eunuchs wait on beautiful women without getting aroused????
Well, I may want to say that, but the Bible doesn't say three gay men pushed queen Jezebel to her demise.
The Bible does say that Elijah prophesized that Jezebel's blood would be splattered on the wall.
Jezebel's blood was splattered on the wall.
What a way to go!
Jezebel was a whore. I wonder if she thought Jehu was there to take her hand and join in her carnage. Did she for one minute think that Jehu would want her for his bride because she was so "conniving"?
Did the eunuchs throw her out the window because Jehu was king? Did they consider it an order from the king? Well, Jehu was indeed, after all, the king to replace Ahab. She could do worse! Did she think of herself as a ravishing irresistible siren who would entice Jehu to take her as his queen?
It doesn't matter why or how Jezebel called out to Jehu. It doesn't matter why or how the eunuchs threw her out the window.
Elijah said her blood would be splattered on the wall.
Jezebel's blood splattered!
