1 Kings 16:28-32

28And Omri slept with his fathers and was buried in Samaria, and Ahab his son reigned in his place.

29In 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 Samaria twenty-two years.

30And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord, more than all who were before him.

31And as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, he took for his wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal and worshiped him.

32He erected an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he built in Samaria.
