The Bible?

Question

tell me about Jezebel

Answer 1

she was advanced for her time......she was the beyonce knowles of her time.....?!!?.....and she only served the best clientele

Answer 2

A wicked woman in the Old Testament from the land of Phoenicia. She was the wife of Ahab (1 Kgs. 16: 30-31), a king of Israel who reigned while Elijah was prophet.
Jezebel’s marriage to Ahab, more than any other single event, caused the downfall of the northern kingdom of Israel; Jezebel introduced into Israel the worst forms of idol worship from her land in place of the worship of Jehovah (1 Kgs. 18: 13, 19).
Jezebel killed many of God’s prophets, 1 Kgs. 18: 4. Jezebel tried to kill Elijah, 1 Kgs. 19: 1-3. Jezebel’s wickedness ended with her terrible death, 2 Kgs. 9: 30-37.

Answer 3

Daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Zidonians, i.e. Phoenicians, and queen of Ahab, king of Northern Israel. Ahab (circa 874-853 BC) carried out a policy, which his father had perhaps started, of making alliances with other states. The alliance with the Phoenicians was cemented by his marriage with Jezebel, and he subsequently gave his daughter Athaliah in marriage to Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah. His own union with Jezebel is regarded as a sin in 1Ki_16:31, where the Massoretic Text is difficult, being generally understood as a question. The Septuagint translations: “and it was not enough that he should walk in the sins of Jeroboam ben Nebat, he also took to wife Jezebel,” etc. The Hebrew can be pointed to mean, “And it was the lightest thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam ben Nebat, he also took to wife Jezebel, and went and served Baal and worshipped him,” i.e. all the other sins were light as compared with the marriage with Jezebel and the serving of Baal (compare Mic_6:16). Is this a justifiable view to take of the marriage? One answer would be that Ahab made a wise alliance; that Baal-worship was not non-Hebrew, that Ahab named his children not alter Baal but after Yahweh (compare Ahaziah, Jehoram, Athaliah), and that he consulted the prophets of Yahweh (compare 1Ki_22:6); further, that he only did what Solomon had done on a much larger scale; it may be added too that Ahab was in favor of religious toleration, and that Elijah and not the king is the persecutor. What then can be said for the unfavorable Verdict of the Hebrew historians? That verdict is based on the results and effects of the marriage, on the life and character of Jezebel, and in that life two main incidents demand attention.

Answer 4

Wife of Ahab, a king of Israel

all of whom Jezebel cared for and fed from her own royal table at the State’s expense. (1Ki 18:19)


judgment against Jezebel: ......“The very dogs will eat up Jezebel.”—1Ki 21:17-26.

. Not only did this “woman” teach false religion and mislead many to commit fornication and idolatry but she also callously refused to repent.

Answer 5

she was a temptress I think any way a few bible verses there are many more

# 1 Kings 18:13
Haven't you heard, my lord, what I did while Jezebel was killing the prophets of the LORD ? I hid a hundred of the LORD's prophets in two caves, fifty in each, and supplied them with food and water.

Answer 6

In the Hebrew Bible, Jezebel is a queen of ancient Israel, whose story is told in 1 Kings. The author introduces her as a Phoenician princess, the daughter of King Ithobaal I of Tyre, who marries King Ahab. She turns Ahab away from the god Jehovah, and towards the worship of her god, Baal. The two then allow temples of Baal to open in Israel. Jezebel uses her control over Ahab to subject Israel to tyranny. After she slaughters the prophets of the Lord, the prophet Elijah confronts her to charge her with abominations. She responds by threatening to kill him as well. After Ahab's death, Jezebel continues to rule through her son Ahaziah. When Ahaziah is killed in battle, she exercises control through her other son, Joram. Joram is killed by Jehu, who confronts Jezebel in Jezreel and urges her servants to kill her by defenestration. They comply, and her corpse is left in the street to be eaten by dogs, in fulfillment of Elijah's prophecy.

n the New Testament, Jezebel is a prophetess in the city of Thyatira. She is accused in Revelation 2:20 of inducing members of the church there to commit acts of sexual immorality and to eat things sacrificed to idols. Some authorities suggest that the author here uses the name Jezebel as a nickname, knowing that readers in Thyatira would know to whom it was being referred, and they would also know of the deeds of the previous Jezebel recorded in 1 Kings.
