I don't quite understand the killing ( you suggest murdering) in the OT in all honesty Sam there are a zillion questions about the bible I would like to ask Him face to face. The baal worship, and false prophesying were associated with your Jez (who totally hen pecked Ahab, the King, by the way).
I don't think there are any examples of deliverance from Evil spirits in the OT before Christ. So I guess cleansing from what has come to be known as a 'Jezebel spirit wasn't going to happen at that particular period of time. So he just humiliated them then rubbed them all out...
Like I said there are things I can't fathom in the bible right now.
I admire him when all is said and done because it was like him against this vast vicious body of wicked,murderous witchy, false prophets and hen pecking wives and he went from utterly knackered and wasted to ultimately legendary victory and restoration of honouring of God.
He increased his faith in Cherith ( by memory a baal region in samaria..don't quote me on it this is a sketchy account of my understanding of that period of Kings ..Fed by ravens at his lowest point ( wonder what that means??) He grew stronger through famined times and learnt dependence on God alone... Then went back to Israel faced the spirit that had polluted those prophets of God...wiped them out.. Went up to heaven in a chariot of fire.
Sam..check out yahoo answers on the meaning of Jezebel... its a pretty random, representative sample. At a glance they appear to concur that the name means 'prostitute', 'witch', 'manipulative woman'. Rest my case.There are supportive sites for jez... although I can't see how they can be biblical... Kings pretty much paints her as an evil kinda lass. But you seem to dig that sort of bird don't you?
