1 Kings 16:32-34

Expanded Bible

³² He built a ·temple [^Lhouse] in Samaria for worshiping Baal and put an altar there for Baal. ³³ Ahab also ·made an idol for worshiping Asherah [set up an Asherah pole; 14:15]. He did more things to ·provoke [arouse] the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger than all the other kings before him.

³⁴ During the time of Ahab, Hiel from Bethel rebuilt the city of Jericho. ·It cost Hiel the life of Abiram, his oldest son, to begin work on the city [^LWith Abiram, his firstborn, he laid its foundation], and ·it cost the life of Segub, his youngest son, to build [^Lwith Segub, his youngest, he set up] the city gates. This happened ·just as the Lord, speaking [^Laccording to the word of the Lord spoken] ·through [^Lby the hand of] Joshua son of Nun [Josh. 6:26].
