nsb - 1Kings:16:29-34

nsb@1Kings:16:29 @ In the thirty-eighth year that Asa was king of Judah, Ahab, the son of Omri, became king over Israel. Ahab was king in Samaria for twenty-two years.

nsb@1Kings:16:30 @ Ahab, the son of Omri, did evil in the eyes of Jehovah, even worse than all who went before him!

nsb@1Kings:16:31 @ 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.

nsb@1Kings:16:32 @ He built an altar for Baal in the house of Baal that he built in Samaria.

nsb@1Kings:16:33 @ 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.

nsb@1Kings:16:34 @ In his days Hiel rebuilt Jericho. He laid its foundation at the price of Abiram, his oldest son, and he put its doors in place at the price of his youngest son Segub. This was according to the word of Jehovah spoken through Joshua, the son of Nun.
