Jezebel was a worshipper of Baal and systematically tried to wipe out the prophets of God. * Instead of accepting her husband's faith, she openly promoted and funded Baal worship. * She was able to influence her husband away from the worship of God very quickly after marriage, because her husband King Ahab began building temples and idols to Baal. * She had many priests of Baal under her authority. * She had a very big run-in with the prophet Elijah in 1 Kings. * She also had a man killed because this man did not want to part with his vineyard, and King Ahab wanted it. So, she set the guy up and had him stoned to death, after which, Ahab took possession of the vineyard. * Many studies have asserted that Jezebel was the most wicked woman in the Bible because nothing good came from anything she did. She was selfish, self absorbed, and self-centered. * She used seduction often, and tried to unite paganism with Judaism.
