Thematic Bible: Under ahab
Thematic Bible
Baal » An idol of the phoenicians, God of the sun » Under ahab
It was as if he copied the evil ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat. He took as his wife Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal, king of Zidon, and became a servant and worshipper of Baal. He built an altar for Baal in the house of Baal that he built in Samaria. Ahab made an image of Asherah. He did more than all the kings of Israel before him to make Jehovah, the God of Israel, angry.
Then he said in answer: I have not made trouble for Israel. You and your family have. You have disobeyed Jehovah's commands and have gone after the Baals.
