“Jezebel his wife said to Ahab (her husband and Israel’s king), Do you not govern Israel? Arise, eat food, and let your heart be happy. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”
Jezebel whispers,”Trust me. I’ll get you what you want.” She has uncanny ways of being available for people with a complaint to voice their complaint. In this way, she is there when the moment is right for rebellion. Jezebel will partner with people angry or disgruntled and complaining that they aren’t getting what they want.
Step 1 – offer justification for their demands. Even though Ahab is king, he still has not right to this property because the vineyard remains in the family through inheritance. Jezebel immediately redefines God’s plans by justifying Ahab’s false claim to something that doesn’t belong to him.
