| + | A wicked king, who was crowned king after his father [[Omri]], and reigned for 22 years (1 Kings 16-29). At the time, was the most wicked leader the kingdom had seen (1 Kings 16:29). He married [[Jezebel]] who was a princess from [[Sidon]] (1 Kings 16:31) and actively setup altars to worship [[Baal]] (1 Kings 16:32-33). He pursued and killed prophets (1 Kings 18:13). He himself was killed in a battle against Syria. | ||

| + | After he died, his son [[Ahaziah]] became king (1 Kings 22:40). | ||
| + | |||
| + | It was during his reign that [[Elisha]] sealed the heavens and caused a famine, and the prophet also challenges the priests of Baal to see whose God could bring fire from heaven. Elisha also counseled the king, but was ignored. (BD, GS) | ||
| + | |||
| + | The story of Ahab's reign is found in chapters [[1 Kings 16|16]] to [[1 Kings|22]] of [[1 Kings]]. It's worth noting that Ahab was the third generation of evil kings before him. | ||
