1 Kings 16:31-33
New King James Version
31 And it came to pass, as though it had been a trivial thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, (A)that he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the (B)Sidonians; (C)and he went and served Baal and worshiped him. 32 Then he set up an altar for Baal in (D)the temple of Baal, which he had built in Samaria. 33 (E)And Ahab made a [a]wooden image. Ahab (F)did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.

New International Version
31 He not only considered it trivial to commit the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, but he also married(A) Jezebel daughter(B) of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and began to serve Baal(C) and worship him. 32 He set up an altar(D) for Baal in the temple(E) of Baal that he built in Samaria. 33 Ahab also made an Asherah pole(F) and did more(G) to arouse the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, than did all the kings of Israel before him.
