Summary

This verse highlights the wickedness of King Ahab, who did more evil in the sight of the Lord than all who were before him. It serves as a reminder of the consequences of turning away from God and following sinful ways. Ahab's reign was marked by idolatry and disobedience, leading to severe judgment upon himself and the nation of Israel. The verse underscores the importance of faithfulness and obedience to God's commands to avoid His righteous judgment.

Commentary

Tyndale

Tyndale Open Study Notes

16:27-28 the extent of his power: Although mentioned only briefly in the Old Testament, Omri was well known to his contemporaries in surrounding lands. According to the Moabite Stone (Mesha Stela), Omri conquered the territory north of the Arnon River in Moab. Assyrian kings affirmed his importance by calling Israel the “House of Omri.” If, as was common in the ancient Near East, Omri arranged the marriage of his son Ahab to Jezebel (the daughter of Ethbaal, king of Tyre and Sidon, 16:31), he may have enjoyed further political and commercial recognition.
