Jael is considered to be one of the great heroes in biblical times and is an empowering figure that defies the stereotypical woman constantly written about in the Bible. The writers of the Bible show us how brave and endearing Jael truly was, while keeping her womanly characteristics. Her uncanny ability to do God’s will and help save God’s people, the Israelites, is why we look up to her as a great figure in the Bible today. Jael lived in the hill country of Ephraim, and was the wife of Heber the Kenite. During the time that she lived there was war going on between the Israelites and the Canaanites, and the Kenites were neutral in this war, but had a peace agreement with King Jabin, leader of the Israelites.

Malicious, destructive, harlot, corrupt, murderer-all words used to describe Jezebel, Queen of the Israelites. The story of Jezebel, although only told in a few chapters and verses, generated a reputation for her as one of the most vile and hated women in the Bible. It all began with King Ahab marrying her, which instigated the whole kingdom to worship Baal rather than YHWH. Next, Jezebel kills all the prophets of the Lord, and, in retaliation, Elijah kills 850 of the pagan priests. As soon as Jezebel gets word of this, she pledges to put Elijah to death. Her name is next mentioned in the story of Naboth and his vineyard. Ahab wishes to own Naboth’s vineyard, and Naboth refuses to sell it to his king. Therefore, Jezebel takes action and writes letters in Ahab’s name telling the nobles and elders Naboth was to be stoned to death for cursing God. When they reported back that the job was done, Ahab seized the vineyard he desired. In the last story of Jezebel, Jehu is anointed king of Israel by Elijah and kills Jehoram, Jezebel’s only living son. Jehu then sets out for Jezebel to put her to death. She puts on her finest clothing and does her hair and makeup beautifully, as she expected his arrival. Her life and legacy end in a gruesome death-being trampled by horses.

The strongest point of comparison between the two characters in question is their mutual descent into mental instability and the degree to which this influences their behavior. Indeed, the common ground in the two stories is at the outset, when an ailing ruler is manipulated into divided his kingdom amongst his children. This division of territories, an event stimulated by individual vanity and infirmity, would have consequences kingdom-wide. The unraveling of civility and familial bonds which would occur thereafter is common to both tellings.
