Jezebel's prophets vs Elijah

Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, but Obadiah hid a hundred prophets in a cave and fed them. (1 Kings 8:3-4)

450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of Asherah eat at her table. (1 Kings 8:19)

When Ahab told her Elijah had killed all the prophets, Jezebel sent a messenger, saying, "So may the gods do to me and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by this time tomorrow." (1 Kings 19:1-2)

Jezebel secures Naboth's vineyard for Ahab

Ahab wanted Naboth the Jezreelite's vineyard in Jezreel, but the LORD had forbidden it. Jezebel saw his depression and said she would get it for him. She sent royal letters and two worthless men to testify falsely against Naboth and incite a stoning. Immediately, Ahab claimed his vineyard. The LORD sent Elijah the Tishbite to proclaim dogs will lick up his and her blood like they licked up Naboth's. (1 Kings 21:1-24)
