Meet Jezebel.
A queen involved in royal injustice.
Who was Jezebel?
Jezebel was a queen of Israel and Ahab's wife. Kings describes her promotion of Baal worship, opposition to prophets and involvement in royal injustice. Her name should not be used as an insult for women.
In Naboth's story, Jezebel arranged false accusations that led to his death. The account exposes the danger of using power and lies to take what belongs to someone else.
