Ahab did more to provoke the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger ithan all the kings of Israel who were before him.2 Kings 1:2-7
2Now Ahaziah fell through the lattice in his upper chamber in Samaria, and lay sick; so he sent messengers, telling them, “Go, inquire of jBaal-zebub, the god of Ekron, kwhether I shall recover from this sickness.” 3But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah lthe Tishbite, “Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of mBaal-zebub, the god of Ekron? 4Now therefore thus says the Lord, nYou shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but you shall surely die.’” So Elijah went.5The messengers returned to the king, and he said to them, “Why have you returned?” 6And they said to him, “There came a man to meet us, and said to us, ‘Go back to the king who sent you, and say to him, Thus says the Lord, Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending to inquire of oBaal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but you shall surely die.’” 7He said to them, “What kind of man was he who came to meet you and told you these things?”
