'Provoked' in the Bible

Judah did what was evil in the Lord’s eyes. They provoked Him to jealous anger more than all that their ancestors had done with the sins they committed.

This was because Jeroboam had provoked the Lord God of Israel by the sins he had committed and had caused Israel to commit.

I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat and like the house of Baasha son of Ahijah, because you have provoked My anger and caused Israel to sin.

He served Baal and worshiped him. He provoked the Lord God of Israel just as his father had done.
