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.
Letters Sealed by Jezebel
1 Kings 21:8 So she
(Jezebel) wrote letters in Ahab's name, and
sealed them with his seal, and
sent the
letters
unto the elders and to the nobles that were
in his city, dwelling with Naboth.
King Ahab and King Jehu
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.
It mentions
the following:
"
2,000 chariots and 10,000
men of Ahab king of Israel."
King Jehu as well is mentioned on Shalmaneser's
Obelisk
2Ki 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.
