Jezebel

Beautfiul, seductive, capricious Jezebel. 
Ahab had been thoroughly taken in. He let her do anything she liked. She could have half his Kingdom or more, she was sexy and always got her way. 
It started with her legs. He noticed she was not like other women, all the Israelite women were quiet and meek, not like Jezebel. Jezebel wore nine inch stilettos and looked good in a figure hugging gown. When she walked, everyone stared. Ahab made her his Queen. 

His dad disapproved of the match but Ahab didnt care. He was tired of the burden of responsibility on his shoulders, of being King. And Jezebel certainly knew how to rule the roost. 
Jezebel acquired many fine things during her reign, clothes, jewels, furs, as befitting her status. She didn't know the one true God, but Ahab thought maybe she would come round, He imagined he had saved her from her cult background, but Jezebel only pretended to believe. In her heart of hearts she was all about herself. He found to placate her penchant for other gods he started building little shrines in the palace so she could have her rituals. God would understand, wouldn't He? She was sexy. And Ahab desperately needed to keep her happy. 

One day, Ahab, who was lolling about his chaise lounge and playing World of Warcraft ancient edition, (he was winning), Jezebel walked in wearing little to the imagination as usual. 
So have you bought this vineyard yet? Ahab, get me this land, I'd think it would be perfect to hold royal parties there. We could have an endless supply of the finest wines, what do you think?

Ahab said he'd look into it. 
Naboth wasnt willing to sell though. It was his ancestral land. 
Jezebel wasnt deterred. When Ahab told her, she said, what have you no balls, you are King?! Ahab sighed and went back to playing World of  Warcraft. Do what you wish my dear wife. 
So Jezebel used his name to sign the deed and blackmail Naboth into selling. She accused Naboth of harbouring young boys on his property and he was stoned to death. 

Ahab was pleased with their purchase. Another fine location to hold the best royal parties, he could turn it into a country club. He didnt know the lengths Jezebel went to, but he didnt care. Anything to keep her happy. 

But God wasn't.
