“Jezebel” is a name synonymous with evil; she is the epitome of the wicked woman. She was the daughter of Ethbaal, a priest of the cruel, sensuous, false god Baal. While still a priest, Ethbaal murdered his own brother to take over the throne. Jezebel followed in her father’s footsteps and was herself a power-hungry murderess who stopped at nothing to get what she wanted.
