And the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; [so] that they shall not say, This [is] Jezebel.
2 Kings 9:37 — KJV
They shall not say. This may mean that the identity of her remains would be obliterated through the mutilation of her body or that Jezebel was to leave behind no sepulcher. If the latter be the meaning, her remains were to disappear utterly from the face of the earth, and people of future generations would not be able to point to her tomb and say that it was there where the once proud queen was buried. When she died only the memory of her evil would remain.
The frightful end of Jezebel should teach us the transitoriness and nothingness of human might and glory. All such things are of dust and to dust they will return. Her doom calls for all workers of iniquity to hear the message of God: “Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness” (Jeremiah 22:13).
Jezebel became a type of the base iniquity that the professed children of God would permit to come into their ranks to debase and defile, and solemn warnings were given of what the resultant judgments would be (Revelation 2:20-23).
