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 ([[2 Kings 9]], {{Bibleverse||2 Kings|9:33-37|kjv|}}).
Later, in the [[Book of Revelation]], the name Jezebel is contemptuously attributed to a prophetic woman of [[Thyatira]], whom the author, through the voice of the risen Christ, accuses of leading her followers into fornication (idolatry). For refusing to repent, she is threatened with sexual domination, humiliation, and the death of her children.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Dunning |first=Benjamin H. |url=https://books.google.co.in/books?id=bZOzDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA513&lpg=PA513 |title=The Oxford Handbook of New Testament, Gender, and Sexuality |date=2019-10-10 |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=978-0-19-021340-4 |pages=513 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Streete |first=Gail Corrington |url=https://www.google.co.in/books/edition/The_Strange_Woman/MoXi1cWbSPMC?hl=en |title=The Strange Woman: Power and Sex in the Bible |date=1997-01-01 |publisher=Westminster John Knox Press |isbn=978-0-664-25622-7 |pages=154-55 |language=en}}</ref>
