This man worshipped the Lord, and when Ahab's wicked wife, Jezebel, tried to kill all the Lord's prophets he hid a hundred of them in two caves and kept them alive with bread and water. He was seeking grass and water for the king's horses, and when he saw Elijah he fell on his face and said, "Art thou my Lord Elijah?" "I am," said Elijah, "go, tell thy lord, 'Behold, Elijah is here."
There are the dogs eating Jezebel, and such a jolly picture of the lion killing the prophet. I do want to see them! Varley told me! 'And Kitty told me, added Valetta. 'She is reading such a book to them. It is called The Beautiful Face, and is all about two children in a wood, and a horrid old grandmother and a dear old hermit, and a wicked baron in a castle! Do let us go, Gillyflower.
"You can not stir up a dust like this, young woman, and leave other people to sneeze in it," she said grimly. And I stayed. I sat, very small, on a chair in a corner. I felt like Jezebel, or whatever her name was, and now the Harbison man was coming, and he was going to see me stripped of my pretensions to domesticity and of a husband who neglected me.
Perhaps this page shall utter a warning voice to arrest them, ere it be too late, and be a life-buoy, or rope, or brother's hand reached out to save them as they rush past on the boiling waters. For there is help and grace in God by which a Herod and a Judas, a Jezebel and a Lady Macbeth, a royal criminal or an ordinary one, may be arrested, redeemed, and saved.
"'Tis not bay like a horse, child. 'Tis not the color that I'm speaking of." "That painted Jezebel, Belle Lorrigan, drove past the house to-day within a stone's throw," Mrs. Douglas informed her husband. "I wush, Aleck, that ye would fence me a yard to keep the huzzy from driving over my very doorstep. She had that youngest brat of hers in the seat with her that Lance.
He expected stirring news from the army, and was eager to learn it. He supposed that Hazael, then king of Damascus, who had murdered Benhadad, had proposed peace. So as he approached Jehu the frightful irony of fate halting him for the interview in the very vineyard of Naboth he cried out, "Is it peace, Jehu?" "Peace!" replied Jehu; "what peace can be made so long as Jezebel bears rule?"
In the very place where the dogs licked the blood of Naboth there they shall also lick your blood."" Ahab said to Elijah, "Have you found me, O my enemy?" He answered, "I have. And Jehovah has declared: 'The dogs shall eat Jezebel in the district of Jezreel." When Ahab heard those words, he tore his clothes and put sackcloth on his flesh and ate no food.
That wasn't his doing, so don't lay it at his door. 'Hold your tongue, you Jezebel, said Ralph, looking fearfully round. 'Ah, I know when to hold my tongue, and when to speak, Mr Nickleby, retorted the dame. 'Take care that other people know when to hold theirs.
"Even Jezebel," said another orator, "did not dare to take Naboth's vineyard from him till she had suborned two men of Belial to swear falsely." "If the testimony of one grave elder had been sufficient," it was asked, "what would have become of the virtuous Susannah?" This last allusion called forth a cry of "Apocrypha, Apocrypha," from the ranks of the Low Churchmen.
He and his wicked wife Jezebel had taken the vineyard of Naboth away from him because Ahab wanted it for a garden, and they had caused the death of Naboth, so when Elijah came he found Ahab in the vineyard, and said, "Hast thou killed and also taken possession?" and he told him that he should die where Naboth died. "Hast thou found me, O mine enemy!" cried the king.
