1 Kings 16:27-32 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

27. And the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and the might that he attained, are they not written in the book of the annals of the sovereigns of Yisra’ĕl?

28. So Omri slept with his fathers and was buried in Shomeron. And Aḥaḇ his son reigned in his place.

29. In the thirty-eighth year of Asa sovereign of Yehuḏah, Aḥaḇ son of Omri became sovereign over Yisra’ĕl. And Aḥaḇ son of Omri reigned over Yisra’ĕl in Shomeron twenty-two years.

30. And Aḥaḇ son of Omri did evil in the eyes of יהוה, more than all those before him.

31. And it came to be, as though it had been a light matter for him to walk in the sins of Yaroḇ‛am son of Neḇat, that he took as wife Izeḇel the daughter of Ethba‛al, sovereign of the Tsiḏonians. And he went and served Ba‛al and bowed himself to it,

32. and raised up an altar for Ba‛al in the house of Ba‛al, which he had built in Shomeron.
