Jezebel

Jezebel is a term that has evolved through history and religion, originating from the biblical figure Jezebel, a Phoenician princess who married King Ahab of Israel. In the Bible, she is portrayed as a villainess who promoted the worship of Baal and persecuted the prophets of Yahweh. Over time, the name "Jezebel" has come to symbolize an ungodly, wicked, or promiscuous woman. In Hebrew, the name is spelled איזבל (Izebel). In other languages, it is translated as Jezabel in Spanish, Jézabel in French, and Giezel in German. The term "Jezebel spirit" is often used in Christian circles to describe a spirit of manipulation, control, and sexual immorality. The historical and cultural context of Jezebel has significantly influenced its modern connotations, making it a powerful symbol in religious and secular discussions alike.
