King Ahab
Jezebel and Ahab took possession of an Israelite peasant named Naboth. Jezebel was blamed for violating the Mosaic covenant notion of justice and land distribution, and limitations on royal power and privilege.
It was a piece of land (vineyard) much desired by her husband Ahab because it bordered his residential palace grounds there.
Ahab was the seventh King of Israel. He reigned for 22 years (871-852 BC). He was the son of Omri. He married Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal, the king of the Sidonians. Ahab, under Jezebel's influence, built a pagan temple, and allowed idols into Samaria. Elijah the prophet warned Ahab that the country would suffer from drought if the cult of Baal was not removed from the land of Israel. After three years of drought, Elijah challenged Ahab and his pagan priests on Mount Carmel. God sent down fire to ignite a sacrifice, but the priests of Baal could not summon Baal to do the same. Then the people realized that God was the only true God. (1 Kings 18:18-39). Then, rains came and ended the drought. Elijah denounced Ahab as a murderer because of the stoning of Naboth, which Jezebel, had instigated. Elijah told Ahab that dogs would lick his blood outside of the city, just as they had licked the blood of Naboth. He also told Ahab that none of his male heirs would survive and that Jezebel would be torn apart by the dogs of Jezreel (1 Kings 21:17-24). After that, Ahab went into deep repentance, and the fulfillment of the prophecy was postponed. Ahab fought Ben-Hadad the King of Damascus in several wars, and then allied himself with Jehoshaphat, King of Judah to liberate Ramoth Gilead from the Arameans. Ahab was warned by the prophet Micaiah that he would die in the battle. But Ahab went to battle anyway, disguised as a soldier, and was killed by a stray arrow. When the blood on his chariot was washed off at a pool in Samaria, the dogs licked up his blood as Elijah said. Jezebel, and eventually all of Ahab's male heirs died as the prophet said. The Bible lists Ahab as the most evil of all the kings before him (1 Kings 16:30). Ahab's son Ahaziah became the new king. The story of Ahab is found in 1 Kings, chapters 16-22. Archaeological note: Carved ivory plaques were found at the site of Ahab's palace in Samaria. Ahab was known to live in a ivory palace (1 Kings 22:39).
As Ahab's whaleboat pulls away from the ship, the omens that appear include the captain's ivory leg catching the sunlight, causing it to gleam bright, and the ship's bells tolling mournfully. These omens are seen as signs of impending doom and reinforce the sense of foreboding surrounding Captain Ahab's quest for revenge against the white whale, Moby Dick.
Ahab was the character in a song by Ray Stevens "Ahab the Arab," Clyde was his camel.
Ahab's artificial leg was made of whale bone. It was a whale ivory prosthesis that he had specially crafted for him after losing his leg in a whaling accident.
The wife of King Ahab who was King of Israel. Ahab was one if Israel's most evil kings, and Jezebel his wife was equally evil. She was the daughter of the King of Tyre, Ithobaal. She turned Ahab away from God to heathen gods and persuaded Ahab to rule over Israel as a tyrant. In the 2nd book of Kings, we are told that Jezebel is killed by the eunuchs in her palace at the request of Jehu, who then throw her out of the palace window to the street below. She is eaten by wild dogs,and only her skull, hands and feet remained, fulfilling a prophecy by Elijah in 1 kings 21:22-26. Because of her wickedness, the name 'Jezebel' has become a term of abuse for any woman who is regarded either as wicked or of loose morals.
