Ahab.
You acted fatally.
Jezebel.
I was myself, Ahab; a princess of Sidon; your Queen.
Ahab.
This is not Sidon, but Shemer.
Jezebel.
I will not plead for your forgiveness, then.
Dismiss me from your council and your court
And let me be; the hated foreign woman
Who tried and failed. I will be nothing here.
After these years of hatred it will be
Peace to be nothing. When my son returns,
(The captain, Ahaziah) send him hence.
I sent for him to help me govern here.
Since I am nothing now, he must not stay.
But now that I am nothing, I say this:
That you must be upon your guard, King Ahab,
More; you must play the King, and being King,
Strike down this prophet and his friend, Lord Jehu,
For they are linked together against peace.
Ahab.
What proofs have you?
