Context: • Ahab, King of Israel: Ahab was the son of Omri and the seventh king of the northern kingdom of Israel. His reign is noted for its political and military achievements, as well as its religious apostasy. Ahab married Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians, which led to the introduction and promotion of Baal worship in Israel. This idolatry provoked the anger of Yahweh, leading to a series of confrontations with the prophet Elijah. Ahab's reign is marked by significant events, including the contest on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18) and the wars with Ben-Hadad, king of Aram (1 Kings 20). Ahab's death occurred in battle at Ramoth-gilead, as prophesied by Micaiah (1 Kings 22:34-38). His legacy is largely negative due to his idolatry and moral failings, as summarized in 1 Kings 16:30-33: "Ahab son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD, more than all who were before him."
