Berean Strong's Lexicon Izebel: Jezebel Original Word: אִיזֶבֶל Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words אִי (i) meaning "not" and זֶבֶל (zebel) meaning "exalted" or "dignified." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2403 (Iezabel): Used in Revelation 2:20, referring to a woman in the church of Thyatira who led others into immorality and idolatry, symbolically linked to the Old Testament Jezebel. Usage: Jezebel is a proper noun used to refer to a specific historical figure in the Bible. The name is often associated with idolatry, manipulation, and opposition to the worship of Yahweh. Jezebel was the wife of King Ahab of Israel and is infamous for promoting the worship of Baal and persecuting the prophets of Yahweh. Cultural and Historical Background: Jezebel was a Phoenician princess, the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians. Her marriage to Ahab, king of Israel, was likely a political alliance. She introduced the worship of Baal and Asherah into Israel, leading to significant religious and cultural conflict. Her actions and influence were in direct opposition to the covenantal faith of Israel, which demanded exclusive worship of Yahweh. Jezebel's account is set during the 9th century BCE, a time of political turmoil and religious syncretism in the Northern Kingdom of Israel.
