God’s Word Translation
1 Kings 16:29-33
29Ahab, son of Omri, began to rule Israel in Asa’s thirty-eighth year as king of Judah. He ruled for 22 years in Samaria.
30Ahab, son of Omri, did what the Lord considered evil. He was worse than all ⌞the kings⌟ who were before him.
31It wasn’t enough that he committed the same sins as Jeroboam (Nebat’s son). He also married Jezebel, daughter of King Ethbaal of Sidon. Ahab then served and worshiped Baal.
32He built the temple of Baal in Samaria and set up an altar there.
33Ahab made poles dedicated to the goddess Asherah. He did more to make the Lord God of Israel furious than all the kings of Israel who came before him.
