Re: Jezebel and Isabel
I've just come back from Israel and there the name Jezebel is definitely pronounced Isabel. I have no idea where the idea that it is a variant of Elizabeth comes from. I have a feeling it may have been rehabilitated as a name by ignorance. The short if ignorance of Hebrew that turned the adonai into Jehovah.
