Skull
skul (, gulgoleth; , kranon): The Hebrew word, which is well known to Bible readers in its Aramaic-Greek form Golgotha, expresses the more or less globular shape of the human skull, being derived from a root meaning to roll. It is often translated in English Versions of the Bible by head, poll, etc. In the meaning skull it is found twice (Jdg 9:53; 2Ki 9:35). In the New Testament the word is found only in connection with GOLGOTHA (which see), the place of a skull (Mat 27:33; Mar 15:22; Joh 19:17), or the skull (Luk 23:33).

Skull
2Ki 9:35 (c) This peculiar incident may teach us the lesson that the thoughts and decisions of the wicked woman Jezebel remained to defile the people after she had gone from the scene. It may be that the palms of the hands remind us that the work which she did in persecuting the believers remained after she was unable to serve because of death.
