Jezebel was a Phoenician princess who married King Ahab who turns him away from God and encouraged him to worship her god Baal. Together they allowed the pagan religion to proliferate in Israel and she has Yahweh's prophets killed, much to the chagrin of Elijah, who shows them who the real God is. After Ahab indicates he likes a certain vineyard, she has the owner of the vineyard and his sons killed.
