The prophet Elisha sent one of the company of the prophets to find Jehu son of Jehoshaphat and anoint him privately with oil declaring him as King of Israel with the mission of destroying the house of Ahab. Upon discovering what had occurred Jehu's companions readily accepted the move spreading their cloaks before him, sounding the trumpets and loudly announcing that Jehu was king!
Then King Jehu of Israel conspired against Joram because before he could take up his office of king he needed to dispose of the reigning king Joram. Jehu chased Joram, drew his bow and shot Joram between the shoulders piercing his heart and having his dead body thrown on to Naboth's field. Jehu then chased Ahaziah king of Judah and his men killed him and he was buried in Jerusalem.
Then Jehu had Jezebel killed having her thrown out of the window where horses trampled her, and dogs ate her body as had been prophesied by Elijah in 1 Kings 21:23. All the dogs left were her head, her hands and her feet!
