📚 Historical Context
In the historical narrative of 2 Kings, Jezebel was the queen of Israel, married to King Ahab, and she actively promoted the worship of Baal, leading the nation into idolatry and moral corruption. God had previously declared judgment on Ahab's family through the prophet Elijah, and Jehu was anointed as king to execute this divine punishment as part of a broader effort to cleanse the land. In this dramatic event, Jehu orders Jezebel to be thrown from a window in Jezreel, fulfilling the prophecy and marking the end of her influential but wicked reign.
