Jezebel had used Ahab’s royal seal to arrange false testimony against Naboth. Naboth was killed, and Ahab took his vineyard. The Lord spoke through Elijah about what would happen to Jezebel at Jezreel. When Jehu came to the city, she painted her face, arranged her hair, and called down to him from a window. At Jehu’s command, the men beside her threw her down. When he heard what the men sent to bury her had found, Jehu remembered the word of the Lord. The woman whose letters had brought about Naboth’s death had come to the end God foretold. We can mistake getting away with something today for getting away with it altogether. When God’s Word shows us we’re wrong, “today” is the day to turn back to Him.
“And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.” —1 Kings 21:23
