Mic 6:16 | TNotes | STEP | 6:16 evil King Omri ... wicked King Ahab: These kings began perhaps the most rebellious dynasty to reign in northern Israel (885–841 BC ; 1 Kgs 16:23—2 Kgs 10:17 ), and Elijah condemned them to annihilation (2 Kgs 10:17 ). No northern kings of Israel followed the laws of Moses (cp. Mic 1:5-6 ). Omri and his son Ahab were the epitome of evil kings (e.g., 1 Kgs 18:4 ; 21:1-26 ). Omri’s dynasty was destroyed in 841 BC (2 Kgs 9:14–10:17 ), and the people of Israel who followed their evil example would similarly be destroyed.
