1 Kings 16:29-34

New American Standard Bible

²⁹ Now Ahab the son of Omri became king over Israel in the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria for twenty-two years. ³⁰ Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord ^(A)more than all who were before him.

³¹ And as though it had been a trivial thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, ^(B)he married Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the ^(C)Sidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshiped him. ³² So he erected an altar for Baal at ^(D)the house of Baal, which he built in Samaria. ³³ Ahab also made ^(E)the ^[a]Asherah. So ^(F)Ahab did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him. ^34 (G)In his days Hiel the Bethelite rebuilt Jericho; he laid its foundations with the loss of Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates with the loss of his youngest son Segub, in accordance with the word of the Lord, which He spoke by Joshua the son of Nun.
