"Etymology - After Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab in the Old Testament, who was defenestrated and killed for not worshiping the right god."
Hi Anu -
I do not think the fact that Jezebel was killed for not worshipping the right god is correct.
Jezebel got killed because of the judgement by a righteous God for murdering an innocent man and stealing the man's property.
Ahab, Jezebel's husband and the King of Israel, wanted the vineyard of a man named Naboth. Whne Naboth refused to sell it, Jezebel planned and executed a conspiracy to have Naboth murdered and annexing his property.

Welcome Rajan. Jezebel> link If you really read the whole story there is more to it than just the Naboth incident. "Jezebel. Jezebel. If ever the devil was born,
Without a pair of horns
It was you,
Jezebel, it was you.
If ever an angel fell,
Jezebel,
It was you.
Jezebel, it was you. " ( but this was Frankie Laine's problem)

Yes, there was far more to Jezebel's life than her relationship
to Naboth.

I know nothing about Jezebel, except with the modern usage of her name. The word defenestrated caught my eye because at work we have a fenestrated drape (sheet) used when a sterile field is required. I LIU and defenestrated is a very descriptive word

I LIU and defenestrated is a very descriptive word Fenestra is Latin for "window". Jezebel was thrown out a window and the dogs ate her, as had been prophesied. Thus, evil woman.

Oh no. She was just a very wicked woman, and the prophet, said she' be "defenestrated", and lo and behold it happened. Here's the Wiki link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jezebel
