^33 (A)And Ahab made a ^[a]wooden image. Ahab ^(B)did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.

⁶ Nevertheless they did not depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who had made Israel sin, but walked in them; ^(A)and the ^[a]wooden image also remained in Samaria.

²⁵ But ^(A)there was no one like Ahab who sold himself to do wickedness in the sight of the Lord, ^(B)because Jezebel his wife ^[a]stirred him up.

³ For he rebuilt the ^[a]high places ^(A)which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; he raised up altars for Baal, and made a ^[b]wooden image, ^(B)as Ahab king of Israel had done; and he ^(C)worshiped all ^[c]the host of heaven and served them.

¹³ But you shall ^(A)destroy their altars, break their sacred pillars, and ^(B)cut down their wooden images

Judah’s Sin and Punishment

¹⁶ So they left all the commandments of the Lord their God, ^(A)made for themselves a molded image and two calves, ^(B)made a wooden image and worshiped all the ^(C)host of heaven, ^(D)and served Baal.

And Jehoshaphat said, “Let not the king say such things!”

⁶ Then the king of Israel ^(A)gathered ^[a]the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, “Shall I go against Ramoth Gilead to fight, or shall I refrain?”

So they said, “Go up, for the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
