30And AhabH256 the sonH1121 of OmriH6018 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068 above all that were beforeH6440 him. 31And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thingH7043 for him to walkH3212 in the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, that he tookH3947 to wifeH802 JezebelH348 the daughterH1323 of EthbaalH856 kingH4428 of the ZidoniansH6722, and wentH3212 and servedH5647 BaalH1168, and worshippedH7812 him.1 32And he reared upH6965 an altarH4196 for BaalH1168 in the houseH1004 of BaalH1168, which he had builtH1129 in SamariaH8111. 33And AhabH256 madeH6213 a groveH842; and AhabH256 didH6213 moreH3254 to provoke the LordH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 to angerH3707 than all the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 that were beforeH6440 him.
34In his daysH3117 did HielH2419 the Beth–eliteH1017 buildH1129 JerichoH3405: he laid the foundationH3245 thereof in AbiramH48 his firstbornH1060, and set upH5324 the gatesH1817 thereof in his youngestH6810 son SegubH7687, according to the wordH1697 of the LordH3068, which he spakeH1696 byH3027 JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126.
