And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 30 is found in chapter 16 of 1 Kings. Ahab begins to reign, and the narrator presents him as surpassing his predecessors in wickedness. His marriage to Jezebel and promotion of Baal worship make idolatry a central issue in the kingdom. The rebuilding of Jericho by Hiel is also connected with an ancient word of judgment. The chapter thus prepares the setting for Elijah’s ministry and the open conflict over who truly is God in Israel.
