20. Ahab asked Elijah, “So you’ve found me, my enemy?”Elijah answered, “I found you. Because you sold yourself to do what the Lord considers evil.
21. So I am going to bring evil on you. I will destroy your descendants. I will destroy every male in Ahab’s ⌊house⌋, whether slave or freeman in Israel.
22. I will make your family like the family of Jer o boam (Nebat’s son) and like the house of Baasha, son of Ahijah, because you made me furious. You led Israel to sin.”
23. Then the Lord also spoke ⌊through Elijah⌋ about Jezbel: “The dogs will eat Jezbel inside the walls of Jezreel.
24. If anyone from Ahab’s ⌊house⌋ dies in the city, dogs will eat him. If anyone dies in the country, birds will eat him.”
25. There was no one else like Ahab. At the urging of his wife, he sold himself to do what the Lord considered evil.
26. He did many disgusting things as a result of worshiping idols as the Amorites had done. (The Lord confiscated their land for Israel.)
