Radio Episode 157: The Royal Palace: Wicked Queen Jezebel - a podcast by Teen Girl Talk with Esther & Steph
from 2023-04-29T22:54
Silently she hid behind one of the thick pillars and watched. It was Jezebel and Ahab. They stood in front of the Baal god. Another shrine had been erected for their worship. The golden half oxen and half man wasn’t very big in size. However they had built him on a higher part and had built seven steps for them to climb and reach the image. On the sides of the statue were men with drums drumming while women and men dressed in white danced as in trance around the statue. Elana recognised them as Jezebel’s priests and priestess. They cut their flesh with sharp objects till blood came out. They splattered it across to the their god while moaning, groaning and chanting in gibberish. Ahab stood to one side and watched as Jezebel dressed in a dark sheer gown walked toward Baal with her arms outstretched holding what looked like an animal. Her voice rang loud as she screeched and called names to her god. Her head thrown back as if in ecstasy. Elana felt her body begin to tremble. This must be her witchcraft she performed on a weekly basis. She had heard others speak of it but never had she witnessed it herself. Should she be surprised? Queen Jezebel’s has been brought to the northern kingdom to be King Ahab’s bride to strengthen the military alliance between her kingdom of Phoenicia and the Kingdom of Israel. Her father King Ethbaal was not only a king but also the high priest of Baal. This ritual had been seemed into her since childhood.
Fire spitted out of the laps of the golden oxen where a gold giant bowl sat and as Jezebel reached the top of the step and the bowl, she threw her head back and screamed ‘rain’ and she hurled the animal into the fire pit. She bowed low, screeched.
