She is notorious for her role in promoting the worship of Baal and Asherah, opposing the prophets of Yahweh, and orchestrating the murder of Naboth to seize his vineyard. Her actions led to significant religious and moral decline in Israel. In the New Testament, the name is used in Revelation 2:20 to describe a false prophetess in the church of Thyatira who led believers into sexual immorality and idolatry.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of Hebrew origin <a href="/hebrew/348.htm">Izebel</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Jezebel, the symbolic name of a false prophetess<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Jezebel (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2403: Ιεζαβελ</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Ιεζαβελ</span></span> ((so <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span>, <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="greek2">Ιεζαβελ</span>; <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="greek2">Ιεζαβελ</span>; <span class="manuref">Rec.</span> <span class="greek2">Ἰεζάβηλ</span>), <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="hebrew">אִיזֶבֶל</span> (`perhaps intact, chaste; cf.
