Jezebel is the epitome of a Bad Girl. Married to King Ahab, Jezebel worships Baal. She is an evil woman, who consistently chooses sin over God. She orders God's prophets killed and promotes Baal worship. When her husband covets a vineyard belonging to another man, Jezebel takes matters into her own hands and arranges that the owner of the vineyard be implicated for cursing God and the king in front of witnesses. The owner is killed because of the accusations...... and Ahab gets what he wants.

The prophet Elijah warns Ahab that Jezebel will be devoured by dogs because of her wickedness. Several years later, she is thrown to her death by her servants. Her dead body is then trampled by horses, after which her body is eaten by dogs.
