Ahab Reigns over Israel
29 Now Ahab the son of Omri became king over Israel in the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years. 30 And Ahab the son of Omri did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh (A)more than all who were before him.
31 Now it happened, as though it had been a trivial thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that (B)he took Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the (C)Sidonians as a wife, and went and served Baal and worshiped him. 32 So he erected an altar for Baal in (D)the house of Baal which he built in Samaria. 33 Ahab also made (E)the [a]Asherah. Thus (F)Ahab did more to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.
