Summary

This verse highlights the reign of King Ahab, who did more evil in the sight of the Lord than all the kings before him. Ahab's marriage to Jezebel, a Phoenician princess who led him into idolatry, further exacerbated his wickedness. The verse sets the stage for the narrative of Ahab's reign, marked by disobedience and idol worship, ultimately leading to severe consequences for the nation of Israel. It serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of turning away from God and following the ways of the world.
