JEZEBEL'S DIARY ENTERY
Today, The prophet Elijah confronted my husband Ahab and charged him with the sin of following Baal. The idol that I worship. I am so angry at this man. I and Elijah do not like each other I want this man dead I want everyone dead that follows God. God isn't real. My prophets follow the idol Baal and if they don't they will die. If u worship Baal u have my full respect. It's about 1 week since I've written in my diary but the today the same man named Elijah had two altars set up at Carmel, one dedicated to Baal, one to Yahweh, and a bull sacrificed upon each altar. He got my supporters of Baal to called upon their god to send fire to consume the sacrifice, but apparently nothing happened.But my husband told me when Elijah called on Yahweh, fire came down from heaven immediately and consumed the offering. Elijah ordered the people to seize the prophets of Baal and Asherah, and they were all slaughtered by what my husband tells me. I’m quite angry that he went but there's nothing I can do now. think the advantage of Elijah and of his God in the test at Carmel and the slaughter of all 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of Asherah, fired the vengeance of Jezebel. Today, I found out that Elijah fled for his life to the wilderness, where he mourned the devotion of Israel to Baal and the lack of worshipers of Israel's God. I have sent a man to tell Elijah that I will kill him myself. But I think I'm afraid of the prophet because it stopped raining for months and Elijah bring rain and if I kill Elijah then the rain might stop and then the grass won't grow and neither will the corn grow. Today, my friend Naboth that owned a vineyard near the royal palace in the city of Jezreel is wishing to get hold of Naboth's vineyard so that he can expand his own gardens, Ahab my husband offered to purchase Naboth's vineyard or to give him a better one in exchange, but Naboth refused, saying that he could not part with family land. When I saw that my husband was depressed by this, I have quickly arranged for the elders to falsely accuse Naboth of blasphemy and he got stoned to death. When my husband Ahab took possession of Naboth's vineyard, he was again confronted by Elijah, who predicted that owing to the way l and my husband had plotted to have Naboth killed, Ahab would die, his royal line would be obliterated, and I would apparently be eaten by dogs. Today is 3 years since Ahab my husband died in battle. Its such a sad day, I miss him a lot but I don't like showing my emotions it makes me feel weak so I write it down. I miss him so much. Anyways his son Ahaziah inherited the royal throne, but he died as the result of an accident and Ahaziah was succeeded by his brother, Joram. Elisha, Elijah's still alive and successor, commanded one of his disciples to anoint Jehu, commander of Joram's army, asking, in order that he might destroy Ahab's descendants as a punishment for the way l have treated God's prophets and his people. Today I found out that Jehu killed Joram and next went to the royal palace at Jezreel, where I am the last formal obstacle to his kingship.I'm going to put on make-up and a formal wig with adornments and I looked out a window. Bromiley says that it should be looked at less as an attempt at seduction than the public appearance of the queen mother, invested with the authority of the royal house and cult, confronting a stubborn chief. Jehu ordered her servants to throw me from the window. My blood splashed on the wall and horses, and Jehu's horse trampled her corpse. Bromiley entered the palace where, after he ate and drank, he ordered my body to be taken for burial. His servants discovered only my skull, my feet and the palms of my hands. My flesh had been eaten by stray dogs, just as the Elijah had predicted. |
