*
In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah ,
Ahab the son of Omri began to reign over Israel ,
and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Sama '
ria twenty-two years .
*
And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD more than all that were before him .
*
And as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jerobo '
am the son of Nebat ,
he took for wife Jez '
ebel the daughter of Ethba '
al king of the Sido '
nians ,
and went and served Ba '
al ,
and worshiped him .
*
He erected an altar for Ba '
al in the house of Ba '
al ,
which he built in Sama '
ria .
*
And Ahab made an Ashe '
rah .
Ahab did more to provoke the LORD ,
the God of Israel ,
to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him .
*
In his days Hi '
el of Bethel built Jericho ;
he laid its foundation at the cost of Abi '
ram his first-born ,
and set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son Segub ,
according to the word of the LORD ,
which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun .
