Throw her down: 1 Kings 21:11

and on the horses: This terrible mode of punishment appears to have been but rarely used, though we occasionally meet with it during this and subsequent periods. The same punishment, it is well known, obtained among the Romans, who used to throw certain malefactors from the Tarpeian rock.

and he trode: 2 Kings 9:26, 2 Kings 7:20, Isaiah 25:10, Lamentations 1:15, Micah 7:10, Malachi 4:3, Matthew 5:13, Hebrews 10:29

and on the horses; which drew the chariot of Jehu:

and he trod her underfoot; with his horses; according to Kimchi, her sentence, and so her death, was stoning, as a retaliation of Naboth; for stoning was done two ways, both by casting down persons on stones, and by casting stones upon them, :-.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
