1 Kings 16:29-33

29Now 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. 30Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord 1more than all who were before him.

31And as though it had been a trivial thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, 2he married Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the 3Sidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshiped him. 32So he erected an altar for Baal at 4the house of Baal, which he built in Samaria. 33Ahab also made 5the 6Asherah. So 7Ahab did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.
