I Kings 16:29



I Kings 16:29 And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: … And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him. This begins the history of one of the worst kings that ever reigned in the northern kingdom of Israel. He was not only wicked himself, but he got all of Israel to follow after his wickedness. Ahab married Jezebel, one of the worst women to ever live. She brought her worship of idols with her, and convinced Ahab to set up idols to Baal, the god of the Zidonians. She was bossy and Ahab was a wimp and whiner. They went well together - or went bad together is more like it! What evil Ahab didn’t think of, Jezebel did think of. I have only known of one girl named Jezebel, and she was a dog. Really, a dog! Many parents name their children after great women in the Bible, but not Jezebel! Jezebel did not have a very good reputation. What a shame.
