*
And in the thirty eighth year of Asa the king of Judah ,
Ahab the son of Omri began to reign over Israel .
And Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty two years ;
*
and Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the eyes of Jehovah above all who were before him .
*
And it happened as if it were a light thing ,
that he walked in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat ,
that he took a wife ,
Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal ,
the king of the Sidonians ,
and went and served Baal ,
and bowed himself to it .
*
And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal ,
which he had built in Samaria .
*
And Ahab made an Asherah ,
and Ahab did still more to provoke to anger Jehovah the God of Israel than all the kings of Israel that were before him .
*
In his days Hiel the man of Bethel built Jericho ;
he laid its foundation in his firstborn Abiram ,
and he set up its doors in Segub his youngest ,
according to the word of Jehovah that He spoke by the hand of Joshua the son of Nun .
