History
In the Bible, Jezebel is depicted as the incarnate of feminine evil. She was
born in 9th century BC, the Phoenician daughter of King Ethbaal who reigned
over the city-states of Canaan, Tyre, and Carthage. As a young woman, her father
and King Omri of Israel arranged her marriage to Ahab, Omri's son. |

King
Ahab and King Jehu - Shalmaneser Monolith Inscriptions
Many fascinating finds have been made in
the world of archaeology concerning King Ahab and
the events surrounding his life. First of all,
Ahab is mentioned in Assyrian records. In an inscription
that accounts a battle known as Qarqar, between
Ahab and his enemy King Shalmaneser III of Assyria,
Shalmaneser records the size of Ahab's army that
fought against him.
From Anciet Near East Texts Volume I - ANET
"Foot soldiers of Ahab, the Israelite"
"I received the tribute of the inhabitants of Tyre, Sidon, and of Jehu,
son of Omri"
King Jehu is also named on Shalmaneser's
Obelisk
2 Kings 9:22 And
it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu,
that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he
answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms
of thy mother Jezebel and
her witchcrafts are so many?
King Ahab's father Omri is listed on the Moabite
Stone. |
