[edit] Biblical references
The text here mentions two women in the Hebrew Bible, but then goes on to cite Jezebel (princess of Tyre and queen of Israel) from 1 Kings, and the seer Jezebel of Thyateira, who is named in the Apocalypse of John (Book of Revelation). Should the text read "...is the name of two women in the Bible."? The rest of the article makes it clear where each person is discussed. Epimetreus 23:08, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
- Unless I'm reading the page incorrectly, there is an inaccuracy here. Jezebel's story is told in 1 Kings, but 1 Kings is not part of the Torah. The word "Torah" is not a synonym for "old testament;" "Torah" refers only to Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. It would be more accurate to say "In the Tanakh" or "In the Hebrew Bible." ~ikeeverett

[edit] Another song reference
Jezebel was referenced in the song Juke Joint Jezebel by KMFDM off the Money album as well
I have another, Poe (the singer) sings "This is Jezebel in hell" in her song Angry Johnny. It is ultimately one of my favorites, and lead me to look up exactly who Jezebel was (leading me to here).--160.81.78.102 01:31, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] real name
It seems likely that the name recorded in the Bible is changed to be a slur. Are there any scholarly guesses as to what her real name was?
which person are you referring to? the one from 1 kings? or the one from revelation? the one from first kings I'm pretty sure is her real name (the old testament is recording history and i do not think they changed her name though I could be wrong.) though don't quote me on that and if you find some evidence please quote it. jittters
[edit] Popular Culture
I'm not sure the Popular Culture section is all that relevent to an article called "Jezebel (Bible)". The title would imply the depiction in the bible is more important. I propose that the list get a seperate article. If anybody agrees I'll go ahead and do it. Robinoke 23:51, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
"jezebel" is also the name of a song by acid bath off the "when the kite string pops" album.
