Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words אִי (i) meaning "not" and זֶבֶל (zebel) meaning "exalted" or "dignified."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent of Jezebel is found in Strong's Greek Number G2403, Ἰεζάβελ (Iezabel), which appears in the New Testament in Revelation 2:20, where it is used metaphorically to describe a woman in the church of Thyatira who led others into immorality and idolatry, reminiscent of the Old Testament Jezebel's actions. Usage: Jezebel is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to the infamous queen of Israel, the wife of King Ahab. Her story is primarily found in the books of 1 Kings and 2 Kings. Context: Jezebel was a Phoenician princess, the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians. She became the wife of Ahab, king of Israel, and is most noted for her role in promoting the worship of Baal and Asherah in Israel, leading the nation into idolatry. Her influence over Ahab and her active persecution of the prophets of Yahweh marked her as a significant antagonist in the biblical narrative. Jezebel's actions led to a confrontation with the prophet Elijah, who prophesied her downfall. Her death is recorded in 2 Kings 9:30-37, where she is thrown from a window, trampled by horses, and her body is consumed by dogs, fulfilling Elijah's prophecy. Jezebel's legacy is one of infamy, often symbolizing the embodiment of wickedness and idolatry.
