First, Ahab, he was the son of the wicked king of Israel Omri, and he even was more wicked than his father [1 Kings16:28-30]. As though that were not enough, he went to Sidonia, and chose for his wife the [daughter of the] king of Sidon, and her name was Jezebel [1 Kings 16:31]. She was a devotee of the god Baal. And when she came to live in the capital city of Samaria, she brought her god, her image, her idol with her; and Ahab built in Samaria a temple for her god Baal [1 Kings 16:32].
