Context Readings

Elijah Responds To Ahab

23 The Lord also speaks of Jezebel: The dogs will eat Jezebel in the plot of land at Jezreel: 24 He who belongs to Ahab and dies in the city, the dogs will eat,
and he who dies in the field, the birds of the sky will eat.’”
25 Still, there was no one like Ahab, who devoted himself to do what was evil in the Lord’s sight, because his wife Jezebel incited him.
