The Bible says at 1Kings 21:6-- "At that he (Ahab) spoke to her (Jezebal): "Because I proceeded to speak to Na´both the Jez´re·el·ite and say to him, 'Do give me your vineyard for money. Or, if you prefer, let me give you another vineyard in place of it.' But he said, 'I shall not give you my vineyard.'"

In the Old Testament who was Jezebel's husband?

According to the Bible, at 1 Kings 16:31, Jezebel was married to a king of the nation of Israel named Ahab who reigned in the tenth century BC.


Why will God lie through the mouth of all His prophets to speak evil to His people 2 Chronicles Chapter 18 verse 21 and 22?

Most of the prophets spoken of in this chapter are not prophets of God. They are Ahab's prophets. The prophet that lied to the king was also not one of God's prophets. The lying spirit came and asked to entice king Ahab and God allowed it to happen and allowed the lying spirit to speak through these false prophets because they chose to let it speak through them. God will not stop us from doing anything we want as He gives every one free choice including prophets. Micaiah was a prophet of God who did lie to Ahab because he knew what Ahab wanted here. He later told Ahab the truth of what God wanted him to say to the king. Micaiah chose to lie and God did not stop him from doing so. One must read around the verses in question to find out what the context the verses are and to know what the rest of the story is about to know how to understand and interpret specific verses.


How long did Jezebel live after Ahab died?

The story of Jezebel, the Phoenician wife of King Ahab of Israel, is told in several small passages scattered throughout the Books of Kings in the Bible. Jezebel and King Ahab lived during the ninth century B.C.E.


Who was King Ahab in the Old Testament?

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).


Who was the son of Ahab and Jezebel?

King Ahab was killed in battle with the Syrians. I believe tradition says that Naaman was the certain man who drew his bow and his arrow hit Ahab between the joints in his armor. You can read this fantastic story in I Kings. It was prophesied by Elijah that Jezebel shall be eaten by dogs by the wall of Jezreel. II Kings tells us the story of Jezebel's death. Jehu was anointed King of the northern kingdom and he comes to Jezreel and looks up into a window and sees Jezebel. There happens to be a couple of eunuchs in the room with her. So Jehu tells them to throw Jezebel out the window , which they do and Jehu's horse tramples her. Later they went to bury Jezebel and could find nothing of her but her skull, the feet and the palms of her hands. The dogs had eaten her.

What kind of conflict did king ahab and queen jezebel face in israel?

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.
