Jezebel is a figure from the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the books of 1 Kings and 2 Kings. She was a Phoenician princess and the wife of King Ahab of Israel. Known for promoting the worship of the Canaanite god Baal, she opposed the prophets of Yahweh, leading to significant conflict in Israel. Jezebel is often depicted as a symbol of wickedness and manipulation. Her actions, including the persecution of prophets and her role in the unjust execution of Naboth, have made her a notorious character in religious and cultural narratives. Her name is frequently used to describe immoral or deceitful women.
