Jezebel. She was turned down by all
the better class of people, and her fun
eral may be regarded In the light OF
historical facts as frost.
Jehosaphat's SON married 4 daughter
OF Ahah and Jezebel, and idolatry was
revived. lie began probably by ldollz-
ing his wife. This shows that we can

captured the majority Of the kings
