Contextual Overview
30So when Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard about it, and she painted her eyes and adorned her head and looked down from the [upper] window. 31As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, "Is it well, Zimri, your master's murderer?" 32Then Jehu raised his face toward the window and said, "Who is on my side? Who?" And two or three officials looked down at him. 33And he said, "Throw her down." So they threw her down, and some of her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses, and he trampled her underfoot. 34When he came in, he ate and drank, and said, "See now to this cursed woman and bury her, for she is a king's daughter." 35They went to bury her, but they found nothing left of her except the skull and the feet and the palms of her hands. 36So they returned and told Jehu. Then he said, "This is the word of the LORD, which He spoke through His servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 'In the property of Jezreel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezebel. 37'The corpse of Jezebel will be like dung on the surface of the field in the property of Jezreel, so they cannot say, "This is Jezebel."'"

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And as Jehu entered in at the gate,.... Either of the city of Jezreel, or of the king's palace:
she said, [had] Zimri peace, who slew his master? Elah the son of Baasha king of Israel; no, he had not; he reigned but seven days, and, being besieged, burnt the king's house over him, and died, 1 Kings 16:10, suggesting that the like would be his fate, who had slain his master Joram; or the words may be rendered, "O Zimri, the slayer of his master"; calling Jehu so, because of his likeness to Zimri.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 31. Had Zimri peace, who slew his master?] Jarchi paraphrases this place thus: "If thou hast slain thy master, it is no new thing; for Zimri also slew Elah, the son of Baasha;" which words were rather intended to conciliate than to provoke. But the words are understood by most of the versions thus: Health to Zimri, the slayer of his master!
