³² He set up an altar^(A) for Baal in the temple^(B) of Baal that he built in Samaria. ³³ Ahab also made an Asherah pole^(C) and did more^(D) to arouse the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, than did all the kings of Israel before him.

³⁴ In Ahab’s time, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. He laid its foundations at the cost of his firstborn son Abiram, and he set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son Segub, in accordance with the word of the Lord spoken by Joshua son of Nun.^(E)
