Bible Verses About Jezebel

Ach'av told Izevel everything Eliyahu had done and how he had put all the prophets to the sword.

Then Izevel sent a messenger to say to Eliyahu, "May the gods do terrible things to me and worse ones besides if by this time tomorrow I haven't taken your life, just as you took theirs!"

On seeing that, he got up and fled for his life. When he arrived in Be'er-Sheva, in Y'hudah, he left his servant there;

Izevel his wife went and said to him, "Why are you so depressed that you refuse to eat?"

He answered her, "Because I spoke to Navot the Yizre'eli and said to him, "Sell me your vineyard for money; or else, if you prefer, I will give you another vineyard for it"; but he answered, "I won't give you my vineyard."

"Are you the king of Isra'el or not?" asked his wife Izevel. "Get up, eat some food, and cheer up! I will give you the vineyard of Navot the Yizre'eli."

So she wrote letters in Ach'av's name, sealed them with his seal and sent the letters to the leaders and notables of the city where Navot lived.

In the letters she wrote, "Proclaim a fast, and give Navot the seat of honor among the people.

Have two good-for-nothing men sit opposite him, and have them accuse him publicly of cursing God and the king. Then take him outside and stone him to death."

The leaders and notables of the city he lived in did as Izevel had written in the letters she sent to them.

They proclaimed a fast and gave Navot the seat of honor among the people.

The two good-for-nothing men came in and sat opposite him, and these scoundrels publicly accused Navot, saying, "Navot cursed God and the king." So they took him outside the city and stoned him to death,

then sent a message to Izevel, "Navot has been stoned to death."

When Izevel heard that Navot had been stoned to death, she said to Ach'av, "Get up, and take possession of the vineyard that Navot the Yizre'eli refused to sell you, because Navot is no longer alive; he is dead."

When Ach'av heard that Navot was dead, he set out to go down to the vineyard of Navot the Yizre'eli, to take possession of it.

When Yehu reached Yizre'el, and Izevel heard of it, she put on eye make-up, fixed her hair and looked out the window.

As Yehu came through the city gate, she asked, "Are you here in peace, you Zimri, you murderer of your master?"

Looking up at the window he said, "Who is on my side? Who?" Two or three officers looked out toward him.

He said, "Throw her down!" So they threw her down. Some of her blood splashed onto the wall and the horses, and she was trampled underfoot.

He went in, ate and drank, and then said, "Deal with this accursed woman - bury her, because she's a king's daughter."

They went to bury her but found no more of her than her skull, feet and hands.

So they came back and told him. He said, "This is what ADONAI said through his servant Eliyahu from Tishbe: 'In the field of Yizre'el the dogs will eat the flesh of Izevel;

Izevel's corpse in the field of Yizre'el will be like dung on the ground, unrecognizable as Izevel.'"
