1 Kings 16:21-34 - Baal, The Idol of Shittim

The Bible Explained with Jenn Kokal · Dec 18, 2024 · 30m

King Omri and Ahab are worse than all the kings before them:

King Omri establishes Samaria

Omri dies and his son Ahab takes his place

Ahab is worse than his father and every king before him

Ahab marries Jezebel and introduces Baal worship to Israel

Ahab rebuilds Jericho in spite of the curse of YHWH

Why the Baal cult was especially disgusting and morally degrading compared to the other cults of the time
