Meaning and history
Jezebel comes from Hebrew ʾIzevel, probably of Phoenician origin and perhaps related to the Semitic root zbl, meaning "to exalt" or "to dwell"; one theory derives it from Baʿlʾizbel, "Ba'al exalts," with its first element removed or replaced. In the Old Testament, Jezebel is the Phoenician wife of Israelite king Ahab and is condemned for promoting the worship of Ba'al. She is thrown from a window, and dogs consume her body in fulfillment of Elijah's prophecy.
