1 Kings 16:30-34

30However, AhabH256 sonH1121 of OmriH6018 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, more than allH3605 whoH834 were before himH6440. 31And as if it wereH1961 not enoughH7043 for him to walkH1980 in the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 sonH1121 of NebatH5028, he even marriedH3947H802 JezebelH348 the daughterH1323 of EthbaalH856 kingH4428 of the SidoniansH6722, and he then proceededH1980 to serveH5647 and worshipH7812 Baal.

32First, Ahab set upH6965 an altarH4196 for BaalH1168 in the templeH1004 of BaalH1168 thatH834 he had builtH1129 in SamariaH8111. 33ThenH256 he set upH6213 an Asherah poleH842. Thus AhabH256 didH6213 moreH3254 to provokeH3707 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of Israel, to angerH3478 than allH3605 the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 before himH6440.

34In Ahab’s daysH3117, HielH2419 the BetheliteH1017 rebuiltH1129 JerichoH3405. At the cost of AbiramH48 his firstbornH1060 he laid its foundationH3245, and at the cost of SegubH7687 his youngestH6810 he set upH5324 its gatesH1817, according to the wordH1697 thatH834 the LORDH3068 had spokenH1696 throughH3027 JoshuaH3091 sonH1121 of NunH5126.1
