The title "Queen of Israel" refers to the female monarchs who ruled over the ancient kingdom of Israel. Notable figures include Queen Athaliah, who was the only woman to rule the kingdom in her own right, and Queen Jezebel, known for her influence and controversial actions during her husband King Ahab's reign. These queens played significant roles in the political and religious life of Israel. In biblical history, the role of a queen often involved supporting the king and managing the royal household. Queens could also influence religious practices, as seen with Jezebel, who promoted the worship of Baal. The legacy of these queens continues to be studied in the context of ancient Israelite society.
