1 Kings 16:28-32

28When Omri died, he was buried in Samaria. Then his son Ahab became the next king.

29Ahab son of Omri began to rule over Israel in the thirty-eighth year of King Asa’s reign in Judah. He reigned in Samaria twenty-two years.

30But Ahab son of Omri did what was evil in the Lord’s sight, even more than any of the kings before him.

31And as though it were not enough to follow the sinful example of Jeroboam, he married Jezebel, the daughter of King Ethbaal of the Sidonians, and he began to bow down in worship of Baal.

32First Ahab built a temple and an altar for Baal in Samaria.
