Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 2 Kings 9:10
And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and [there shall be] none to bury [her]. And he opened the door, and fled.
10. the dogs shall eat Jezebel ] This fate had been foretold by Elijah 1Ki 21:23. The dogs in Eastern cities prowl hungrily about, and act as scavengers. Hence they are in bad repute, and the name ‘dog’ is one of greatest contempt. To be devoured by them was the extreme of degradation and penalty to an Oriental mind.
in the portion of Jezreel ] In 1Ki 21:23 the Hebrew word used signifies ‘wall’ (R.V. rampart) though according to some authorities the word should be the same which is used here. ‘By the rampart’ indicates that she should lie just where she was thrown down close to the city wall. The ‘portion’ signifies the ground a little more outlying, which in an Eastern town is used for the deposit of all offal and rubbish.
and there shall be none to bury her] One moment she will be queen, the next, cast out of the window by the eunuchs, and her lot so changed that none shall care to go and see what becomes of her body.

2Ki 9:10. In the portion of Jezreel In that portion of land, in or near the city, which belonged to Naboth. There shall be none to bury her That is, none shall bury her, or she shall not be buried; for it appears from 2Ki 9:34, that Jehu gave orders to have her buried, sending out persons for that purpose, but they could only find some small remains of her carcass, the dogs having eaten the rest.
