In the Bible, which king of Israel was the husband of Jezebel?
"BC. According to Israel Finkelstein, the marriage of King Ahab to the daughter of the ruler of the Phoenician empire was a sign of the power and prestige of Ahab and the northern Kingdom of Israel. He termed it a ""brilliant stroke of international diplomacy."" He says that the inconsistencies and anachronisms in the biblical stories of Jezebel and Ahab mean that they must be considered ""more of a historical novel than an accurate historical chronicle."" Among these inconsistencies, 1 Kings 20 states that ""Ben-Hadad king of Aram"" invaded Samaria during Ahab's reign, but this event did not take place"
"tributary. Ahab was allied by marriage with Jehoshaphat, who was king of Judah. Only with Aram Damascus is he believed to have had strained relations. Ahab married Jezebel, the daughter of the King of Tyre. 1 Kings 16–22 tells the story of Ahab and Jezebel, and indicates that Jezebel was a dominant influence on Ahab and strove to spread idol worship of Baal in Israel. Ahab lived in Samaria, the royal capital established by Omri, and built a temple and altar to Baal there. He was succeeded by Ahaziah and Jehoram, who reigned over Israel until Jehu's revolt of 842"
"Jezebel, a priestess of Baal and the daughter of the king of Sidon in Phoenicia. These solutions brought security and economic prosperity to Israel for a time, but did not bring peace with the Israelite prophets, who were interested in a strict deuteronomic interpretation of the religious law. Under Ahab's kingship, these tensions were exacerbated. Ahab built a temple for Baal, and his wife Jezebel brought a large entourage of priests and prophets of Baal and Asherah into the country. It is in this context that Elijah is introduced in as Elijah ""the Tishbite"". He warns Ahab that there will"
"of Jehoiakim who was also cursed in Jeremiah 36:30. Jeconiah was told that none of his descendants could ever sit on the throne of David.(Jeremiah 22:30) Jews thus argue the Messiah must descend from King Solomon but not from King Jeconiah. Jews point out that Jeconiah's grandson, Zerubbabel, held power granted by God, though he was never king. Jews argue that on top of Nathan not being king, Luke 3:27 includes Shealtiel and Zerubbabel, both of whom are descendants of the cursed Jeconiah in Matthew 1:12. This is part of the reason Jews give for rejecting Jesus as the promised"

Furthermore, in 2015, Eilat Mazar discovered a royal bulla of the Judean king Hezekiah, biblical son of Ahaz, that reads ""Belonging to Hezekiah [son of] Ahaz king of Judah"", and dates to between 727 - 698 BC. Ahaz Ahaz (; ""Akhaz""; ; an abbreviation of Jehoahaz, ""Yahweh has held"" (; ""Ia-ú-ḫa-zi"") was king of Judah, and the son and successor of Jotham.

The murder of Naboth (see Jezebel), an act of royal encroachment, stirred up popular resentment just as the new cult aroused the opposition of the Israelite prophets, including Elijah and Micaiah. Indeed, he is referred to, for this and other things, as being ""more evil than all the kings before him"" (1 Kings 16:30). The followers of Yahweh found their champion in Elijah. His denunciation of the royal dynasty of Israel and his emphatic"
"Bethuel Bethuel ( ""Bəṯū’êl"", “house of God”), in the Hebrew Bible, was an Aramean man, the youngest son of Nahor and Milcah, the nephew of Abraham, and the father of Laban and Rebecca. Bethuel was also a town in the territory of the tribe of Simeon, west of the Dead Sea. Some scholars identify it with Bethul and Bethel in southern Judah, to which David gives part of the spoils of his combat with the Amalekites.

Menander’s comment that Ithobaal had been a priest of Astarte before becoming king explains why his daughter Jezebel was so zealous in the promotion of the Phoenician gods, thus leading to the conflicts between Elijah and Jezebel’s forces described in 1 Kings 18 and 19.

Ahab was succeeded by his sons, Ahaziah and Jehoram. Jezebel's death, however, was more dramatic than Ahab's. As recorded in 2 Kings 9:30-34, Jezebel was confronted by Jehu who had her servants throw her out the window, causing her death. 1 Kings 16:29 through 22:40 contains the story of Ahab's reign. This reign is one which faces opposition from several prophets of Yahweh throughout as well as various consequences"
"Lemuel (biblical king) Lemuel ( ""Ləmû’ēl"", ""to him, El"") is the name of a Biblical king mentioned in Proverbs 31:1 and 4, but whose identity remains uncertain. Speculation exists and proposes that Lemuel was Hezekiah, Solomon, a king of Massa, or fictitious. The opening verse of Proverbs 31 reads: ""The words of the great king Lemuel. The vision wherewith his mother instructed him."" The name occurs again in verse 4: ""Give not to kings, O Lemuel, give not wine to kings ...""
