What if the most hated woman in history could speak for herself…?
A queen made equal to a king...accused of murdering her rivals. A priestess, called goddess incarnate...denounced as a harlot and sorceress.

They needed to suppress her power to control the narrative. And when she refused to obey...they tried to silence her forever. But she will not be silenced...

Jezebel. Her story comes down to us from the writers of First & Second Kings in the Hebrew scriptures, also known as the Christian Old Testament, in which she is portrayed as a scheming murderess, harlot, & notorious idolatress: the epitome of feminine evils. Her name has become a symbol, an archetype representing a woman capable of the worst of human sins.

There are two sides to every story, yet only the voices of her detractors have come down to us, while those who supported her & her husband, King Ahab, have been conveniently silenced in the annals of Judeo-Christian history.

But what if she could tell her own story? Her first act in taking back her voice might be to reveal the true name by which she was known: Yezeba’al, Queen of Yisrael. This is her account of the tales previously handed down to us by the winners in history.

This is her story.

The research that R.M. Watters did for this book is amazing, so much so that even Israeli professors and colleagues of mine were impressed by it. It’s a fascinating read, told from the perspective of the most hated woman of the Bible. The story is well-balanced, though. Jezebel is definitely no saint, and we find out exactly why with plenty of spicy details. Yet, there’s also something relatable about this strong, smart woman trying to do her best in a man’s world, marrying into a tribe and nation very different from her own, and struggling with her husband to keep the peace and hold the Kingdom of Israel together in a tumultuous time and place. This is not an easy read. It’s over 700 pages, filled with names and places with authentic spellings from an age when early, proto-Hebrew was still using Phoenician letters. But it’s worth the effort to keep reading. Why? The complex interplay of polytheism, henotheism, and monotheism was still being fought over—socially, politically, and spiritually—during this time, and the outcome would have a profound effect on history and humanity. If you’ve ever wondered why the Hebrew people kept straying and following after the Canaanite gods, this explains it. If you’ve ever wondered why Jezebel was so vehemently hated when her wrongdoings seem to pale compared to certain other Biblical figures, it’s all explained here. This is a great book, a controversial, richly detailed look into the most talked-about, hated yet revered power couple of all time, Jezebel and Ahab—two people who make the antics of present-day Hollywood seem amateurish in comparison—for the good or the bad. The final chapter is a masterpiece of literary historical fiction.
