The evil Jezebel who brought idolatry to Israel when married to King Ahav, desired the innocent Naboth's vineyard and ancestral estate (shtei Ahuza). Naboth did not want to sell this ancestral estate so Jezebel wickedly marshaled 900 false witnesses against Naboth in this conflict of interests, and had the innocent Naboth legally tried and convicted of capital punishment based on the rigged false testimonies. Jezebel also sought to kill Elijah the prophet and his prophetic disciples, but Eliyahu prevailed and Eliyahu's fate was to be ascended to heaven in a fiery chariot [translated alive to the heavenly realms] and creating a legacy of secret esoteric teachings regarding ma'aseh merkavah.(the doings of the divine chariot), a divine chariot which also is witnessed by the prophet Yehezkel as a reflection on the Chabar river in Bavel and the prophet Isaiah in the throne vision in the Temple in Jerusalem. The wicked Jezebel's fate however is the opposite, as predicted "the dogs would lick her blood" after fenestration, midah kineged midah.
