Jezebel was wife of Ahab, a king of Israel in the latter half of the tenth century B.C.E. She was a domineering queen who proved to be a strong advocate of Baalism at the expense of Jehovah’s worship. Jezebel, not satisfied that Baal worship was officially approved by the throne, endeavored to exterminate the worship of Jehovah from the land. To that end she ordered all the prophets of Jehovah killed, but God warned Elijah to escape across the Jordan, and Obadiah, the palace steward, hid a hundred others in caves. (1Kings 17:1-3; 18:4, 13) She had a wicked character, a character that was extremely selfish, unscrupulous, arrogant and cruel. 2 Kings 9:32,33, mentions regarding her death. Jehu said, "Looking up to the window, he said: “Who is on my side? Who?” Immediately two or three court officials looked down at him.  He said: “Throw her down!” So they threw her down, and some of her blood splattered on the wall and on the horses, and he trampled her." 35, "But when they went to bury her, they did not find anything but her skull and her feet and the palms of her hands." The account proceeds to mention, “This fulfills the word of Jehovah that he spoke through his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, ‘In the plot of land of Jezreel, the dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel. 37 And the dead body of Jezebel will become as manure on the surface of the field in the plot of land of Jezreel..."
