³⁰ Now Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord, more than all who were before him. ³¹ And it came to pass, as though it had been a trivial thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, ^(A)that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the ^(B)Sidonians; ^(C)and he went and served Baal and worshiped him. ³² Then he set up an altar for Baal in ^(D)the temple of Baal, which he had built in Samaria. ^33 (E)And Ahab made a ^[a]wooden image. Ahab ^(F)did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him. ³⁴ In his days Hiel of Bethel built Jericho. He laid its foundation ^[b]with Abiram his firstborn, and with his youngest son Segub he set up its gates, ^(G)according to the word of the Lord, which He had spoken through Joshua the son of Nun.
