According to the biblical narrative, Jezebel replaced [[Yahwism]] with [[Baal]] and [[Asherah]] worship and was responsible for [[Naboth]]’s death. This caused irreversible damage to the reputation of the [[Omrides|Omride dynasty]], who were already unpopular among the Israelites.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://biblehub.com/micah/6-16.htm|title=Micah 6:16}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://biblehub.com/2_chronicles/21-6.htm|title=2 Chronicles 21:6}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://biblehub.com/2_kings/8-18.htm|title=2 Kings 8:18}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=ISHDA|first=T.|date=1975|title=The House of Ahab|journal=Israel Exploration Journal|volume=25|issue=2/3|pages=135–137|jstor=27925509}}</ref> For these offences, Jezebel was [[Defenestration|defenestrated]] and devoured by dogs, under [[Jehu]]'s orders, which Elijah prophesied ({{Bibleverse||2 Kings|9:33-37|kjv|}}).
Later, in the [[Book of Revelation]], Jezebel is symbolically associated with [[false prophet]]s.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Who Rides the Beast?: Prophetic Rivalry and the Rhetoric of Crisis in the Churches of the Apocalypse|last=B.
