1 Kings 16:31-33

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³¹ And as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jerobo′am the son of Nebat, he took for wife Jez′ebel the daughter of Ethba′al king of the Sido′nians, and went and served Ba′al, and worshiped him. ³² He erected an altar for Ba′al in the house of Ba′al, which he built in Samar′ia. ³³ And Ahab made an Ashe′rah. Ahab did more to provoke the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.
