2 | jezebel's death? | 2 Kings | BMyers | 198175 | ||
Jezebel’s death happend as it was prophesied by Elijah. Why did God pick this type of death is only speculation on my part and maybe someone else has study the topic. Reading Jezebel’s death in 2 Kings 9:33-37, you can see how the story unfolds. Jezebel showed her haughtiness when she ‘painted her eyes’ and then mocked Jehu from the window. Instead of being in fear and submission to a man being used by God, she was in her window making fun of him. Why the eunuchs (officials) turned on is speculation. It could have been they didn’t like her or they may have been trying to win favor with Jehu, regardless, they were being used to fulfill the prophesy. Once Jezebel was dead (tossed to the ground and ran over), Jehu went on and ate, but as we read in 2 Kings he started thinking, she was royalty and she should be buried as such. Yet, when they went to get her body, as it had been foretold, the dogs had eaten her. The dogs treated her just as another piece of food, nothing special, nothing royal. So Jezebel in all her past evil glory had come to nothing more than dog food just like Elijah had foretold. Maybe someone who has study the topic can give you a better answer. Brad |
