Easton's Bible Dictionary

Zeal:

an earnest temper; may be enlightened (Num 25:11-13; 2Cr 7:11; 9:2), or ignorant and misdirected (Rom 10:2; Phl 3:6). As a Christian grace, it must be grounded on right principles and directed to right ends (Gal 4:18). It is sometimes ascribed to God (2Ki 19:31; Isa 9:7; 37:32; Eze 5:13).
