인물 여성

[Easton 한국어 번역] 정숙한 자. 시돈 사람의 왕 엣바알의 딸이며 이스라엘 왕 아합의 아내(왕상 16:31). 이것은 “이스라엘 왕이 이방 공주와 혼인으로 동맹을 맺은 최초의 경우였으며, 이 동맹은 특별히 재앙을 가져오는 것이었다. 이세벨은 음모와 간교함, 악의와 복수심, 잔혹함을 모두 대표하는 인물로 역사에 그 이름을 새겼다. 그녀는 하나님의 성도들에 대한 박해를 크게 선동한 최초의 인물이다. 어떠한 원칙에도 이끌리지 않고 하나님이나 사람에 대한 어떠한 두려움에도 제약받지 않으며, 자기의 이교 숭배에 열렬히 집착한 그녀는 자기 주변에서 우상 숭배가 온갖 화려함을 갖추어 유지되도록 온갖 수고를 아끼지 않았다. 그녀의 상에서 먹는 아세라 목상의 선지자[영어 개역본에서는 ‘아세라의 선지자’] 400명 외에도, 그녀의 후원 아래 바알을 섬기는 선지자가 450명이나 있었다(왕상 18:19). 게다가 그 우상 숭배는 가장 타락하고 육욕적인 종류의 것이었다.” 그녀의 행실은 여러 면에서 이스라엘과 유다 두 왕국에 큰 재앙을 가져왔다(21:1-29). 마침내 그녀는 비명에 죽었다. 예후가 말을 타고 이스르엘 성문으로 들어올 때, 그녀는 궁전 창에서 내다보며 “주인을 죽인 너 시므리여 평안하냐”라고 말하였다. 예후가 위를 쳐다보고 그녀의 내시들을 부르자, 그들은 즉시 그녀를 창에서 던져 버렸다. 그녀는 길바닥에서 몸이 부서졌으며, 예후의 말들이 그녀를 발로 짓밟았다. 그녀는 디셉 사람 엘리야의 말대로(왕상 21:19) 곧 거리의 개들에게 먹혔다(왕하 9:7-37). 그 뒤 그녀의 이름은 악한 여자를 가리키는 동의어로 쓰이게 되었다(계 2:20). 그녀가 카르타고를 세운 디도의 대고모였다고 전해진다는 점도 덧붙일 만하다.

[Easton] Chaste, the daughter of Ethbaal, the king of the Zidonians, and the wife of Ahab, the king of Israel (1 Kings 16:31). This was the “first time that a king of Israel had allied himself by marriage with a heathen princess; and the alliance was in this case of a peculiarly disastrous kind. Jezebel has stamped her name on history as the representative of all that is designing, crafty, malicious, revengeful, and cruel. She is the first great instigator of persecution against the saints of God. Guided by no principle, restrained by no fear of either God or man, passionate in her attachment to her heathen worship, she spared no pains to maintain idolatry around her in all its splendour. Four hundred and fifty prophets ministered under her care to Baal, besides four hundred prophets of the groves [R.V., ’prophets of the Asherah’], which ate at her table (1 Kings 18:19). The idolatry, too, was of the most debased and sensual kind.” Her conduct was in many respects very disastrous to the kingdom both of Israel and Judah (21:1-29). At length she came to an untimely end. As Jehu rode into the gates of Jezreel, she looked out at the window of the palace, and said, “Had Zimri peace, who slew his master?” He looked up and called to her chamberlains, who instantly threw her from the window, so that she was dashed in pieces on the street, and his horses trod her under their feet. She was immediately consumed by the dogs of the street (2 Kings 9:7-37), according to the word of Elijah the Tishbite (1 Kings 21:19). Her name afterwards came to be used as the synonym for a wicked woman (Rev. 2: 20). It may be noted that she is said to have been the grand-aunt of Dido, the founder of Carthage. [Smith] (chaste), wife of Ahab king of Israel. (B.C. 883.) She was a Phoenician princess, daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians. In her hands her husband became a mere puppet. (1 Kings 21:25) The first effect of her influence was the immediate establishment of the Phoenician worship on a grand scale in the court of Ahab. At her table were supported no less than 450 prophets of Baal and 400 of Eastward. (1 Kings 16:31,21; 18:19) The prophets of Jehovah were attacked by her orders and put to the sword. (1 Kings 18:13; 2 Kings 9:7) At last the people, at the instigation of Elijah, rose against her ministers and slaughtered them at the foot of Carmel. When she found her husband east down by his disappointment at being thwarted by Naboth, (1 Kings 21:7) she wrote a warrant in Ahab’s name, and sealed it with his seal. To her, and not to Ahab, was sent the announcement that the royal wishes were accomplished, (1 Kings 21:14) and on her accordingly fell the prophet’s curse, as well as on her husband, (1 Kings 21:23) a curse fulfilled so literally by Jehu, whose chariot-horses trampled out her life. The body was left in that open space called in modern eastern language “the mounds,” where offal is thrown from the city walls.
