28 So Omri slept with his fathers and was buried in Shomeron. And Aḥaḇ his son reigned in his place.
29 In the thirty-eighth year of Asa sovereign of Yehuḏah, Aḥaḇ son of Omri became sovereign over Yisra’ĕl. And Aḥaḇ son of Omri reigned over Yisra’ĕl in Shomeron twenty-two years.
30 And Aḥaḇ son of Omri did evil in the eyes of יהוה, more than all those before him.
31 And it came to be, as though it had been a light matter for him to walk in the sins of Yaroḇ‛am son of Neḇat, that he took as wife Izeḇel the daughter of Ethba‛al, sovereign of the Tsiḏonians. And he went and served Ba‛al and bowed himself to it,
32 and raised up an altar for Ba‛al in the house of Ba‛al, which he had built in Shomeron.
33 And Aḥaḇ made an Ashĕrah. And Aḥaḇ did more to provoke יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl than all the sovereigns of Yisra’ĕl before him.
34 In his days Ḥi’ĕl of Bĕyth Ěl built Yeriḥo. He laid its foundation at the cost of Aḇiram his first-born, and at the cost of his youngest son Seg̅uḇ he set up its gates, according to the word of יהוה, which He had spoken through Yehoshua son of Nun.
