Ahab.
What? Ahaziah dead? How did he die?
Jehu.
While he was riding here, he made a halt,
To rest his horses, at the inn at Springs;
And leaning on the lattice, looking out,
He fell out of the upper balcony,
And died soon after, broken by the fall.
Here is the witness, who will tell you how.
Ahab.
Speak, then, and tell the tale. How could he fall?
Zakkur.
By treachery, by Syrian treachery.
Lord, when our Queen commanded the Prince to return here, she sent her orders by a Syrian of the Court.
Jezebel.
