1 Kings 16:32-34

International Standard Version

³² He built an altar for Baal in a temple for Baal that he constructed in Samaria. ³³ Ahab also erected an Asherah, doing more to provoke the Lord God of Israel than all of the kings of Israel who had reigned before him. ³⁴ It was during Ahab’s reign that Hiel the Bethelite rebuilt Jericho. He laid its foundations just as his firstborn son Abiram was dying, and he erected its gates while his youngest son Segub was dying, thus fulfilling the message that the Lord delivered through Nun’s son Joshua.^[a]
