King Ahab had a daughter.

She became queen.

Like father like daughter.

 

You see, why is it that people only point the finger at Jezebel and never King Ahab.  The Bible says he was the worst king of the time and that he thought it "trivial" to commit horrible sins and he, the king of God's nation and people, married a devil-worshipper from another land [the Phoenecian Coast - Tyre/Sidon] and became a devil-worshipper with her.  AND he brought her into Israel to become queen of God's people.

It takes two to tango.

Not unlike eve getting blamed for Adams choice to sin

Indeed. To whom was the commandment of the Lord given?

Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate it and tend it. The Lord God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may freely eat; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for on the day that you eat from it you will certainly die.” (Genesis 2:15-17 NASB)

The Lord gave the commandment to Adam. Adam sinned for he had received the commandment from God; Eve was deceived by the serpent. We might ascertain that Eve had received the commandment from her husband Adam; why didn't Adam refuse the fruit? He knew better having received the commandment from the Lord Himself! 

Ah, but because a husband and wife are one flesh Adam's sin fell upon Eve who was deceived. But herein the majesty of God is revealed who declared to the serpent who deceived Eve, 

"And I will make enemies
Of you and the woman,
And of your offspring and her Descendant;
He shall bruise you on the head,
And you shall bruise Him on the heel.”
(Genesis 3:15 NASB)

Like mother, like daughter. A daughter of Eve bore the Word made flesh into this world! Did God say to Adam, your descendant shall bruise the head of the serpent? No, for by Adam sin entered into the world. By the seed of Eve will the serpent be overcome, not Adam's seed!

Theres a problem here well lets look at what Eve said BEFORE the sin " The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”

So some treating this as if Eve didn't know.. we see she knew and she and Adam sinned together. Again Eve said "But GOD did say"... hmm yeah she knew if she eats of that tree she will die.

Hey there, @Marathoner. . .  Actually, Luke describes the "generations of Christ" in Chapter 3 of Luke's Gospel, beginning with Jesus Himself and tracing backwards all the way to Adam.

Yes, but who was Adam's Father? And who was the Father of the Word made flesh?

Our Father!

This is just a commentary on Jesus Christ as the second Adam, sister. Of course the woman who bore Christ into the world is a descendant of Adam as well as Eve (and therefore under the Law), but Jesus does not have Adam as His father (a natural man). Praise the Lord! What God spoke to the serpent was fulfilled in Jesus Christ.  

So also it is written: “The first man, Adam, became a living person.” The last Adam was a life-giving spirit. However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven. (1 Corinthians 15:45-47 NASB)

Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all mankind, because all sinned— for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not counted against anyone when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the violation committed by Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. (Romans 5:12-14 NASB)

Adam (natural from the dust) first, then Jesus Christ the second man (spiritual and from heaven) last. Adam was a type of Christ to come? Pretty heavy!

Is there a particular point of commentary to be discussed? 

I actually didn’t know that athaliah was Jezebel’s daughter. Wondered if it would be a good discussion. Once read a commentary that she ‘almost’ broke the messianic line.

And as for eve, she was deceived...surely a warning to all of us of the ‘fairer sex’
