 This week I am covering the story of the Biblical Jezebel. Jezebel is a figure from the Bible, specifically the Old Testament, known for her role as the wife of King Ahab of Israel. She was a Phoenician princess, the daughter of King Ethbaal of Sidon, and she brought with her the worship of the god Baal, which clashed with the monotheistic faith of the Israelites.

Jezebel is often portrayed as a symbol of wickedness and idolatry due to her efforts to promote Baal worship and suppress the prophets of Yahweh. She is especially remembered for her conflict with the prophet Elijah, who condemned her for leading Israel astray. Her story is primarily found in the books of 1 and 2 Kings. Eventually, Jezebel met a violent end; she was thrown from a window by her own servants and trampled by horses, fulfilling a prophecy about her downfall. Over time, her name has become synonymous with immorality, manipulation, and defiance against divine authority.
