Who was the son of Ahab and Jezebel?

King Ahab was killed in battle with the Syrians. I believe tradition says that Naaman was the certain man who drew his bow and his arrow hit Ahab between the joints in his armor. You can read this fantastic story in I Kings. It was prophesied by Elijah that Jezebel shall be eaten by dogs by the wall of Jezreel. II Kings tells us the story of Jezebel's death. Jehu was anointed King of the northern kingdom and he comes to Jezreel and looks up into a window and sees Jezebel. There happens to be a couple of eunuchs in the room with her. So Jehu tells them to throw Jezebel out the window , which they do and Jehu's horse tramples her. Later they went to bury Jezebel and could find nothing of her but her skull, the feet and the palms of her hands. The dogs had eaten her.
