Jezebel

Jezebel was a Phoenician princess who became Queen of Israel through her marriage to King Ahab. Known for her political influence and fierce determination, she promoted the worship of Baal, opposed the prophets of the God of Israel, and became a powerful adversary of the prophet Elijah. Her role in the death of Naboth further established her reputation for corruption and ruthless abuse of royal authority. Jezebel’s dramatic downfall serves as a biblical warning about idolatry, unchecked power, manipulation, and defiance of God.
