The answer is: Jehu

2 Kings 9:31-33 - Not a pretty death. Jehu then ran his chariot over her.

In one of the gripping narratives of 2 Kings, power shifts with dramatic flair. King Jehu, known for his zeal in purging Israel of its idolatrous practices, arrives in Jezreel to confront Queen Jezebel famously. When she jeers at him, calling him "Zimri," one of the infamous usurpers in Israel’s sordid history, her fate is sealed.

Jezebel was more than just a queen; she brought Baal worship into Israel, enticing the people away from their covenant with God. Her death isn’t merely gruesome—it’s symbolic of her elaborate schemes unraveling entirely. Jehu instructed her chief servants to discard her from the window, showing his contempt for her former royalty and nullifying her political machinations. Not only does he eliminate a threat; this act is a vivid statement against her vanity and pride.

But wait, there’s trivia! The name Jezebel is often synonymous with wickedness in popular culture. Many may not know that the word "Jezebel" is sometimes used in moral discussions to highlight betrayal and seduction. Also, in Revelation 2:20, there’s reference to a "Jezebel" leading others astray, echoing back to this infamous queen's legacy. Jehu’s actions and Jezebel’s fall highlight the continual theme of divine judgment against those who lead others into spiritual paths away from justice and righteousness, a theme just as vital today.
