sin wherewith he made ~Israél to_sin, to provoke J-the Lorp =God_of Israél to_anger with their vanities.
27 Now the-rest_of the_acts_of Omri which he did, and his might that he shewed, are thep not written in the_ book_of the chronicles_of the _kings_of Israél ?
28 So Omri slept with his fathers, and was_buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.
29 And in the_thirty and eighth year of Asa king_of Judah began « Ahab the_son_of Omri to_reign over Israél: and Ahab the_son_of Omri reigned over Israél in Samaria twenty and two years.
30 And Ahab the_son_of Omri did xevil in the_sight_of ‘the Lorp above all that were before him.
31 And it came_to_pass, as if it-had_ been_a_light_thing for him to walk in the_sins_of Jeroboam the_son_of Nebat, that he took to_wife j-Jezebel the_ daughter_of ¢ Ethbaal king_of the Zi- donians, and went and served xBaal, and worshipped him.
32 And he reared_up an altar for xBaal in the_house_of xBaal, which he had_built in Samaria.
33 And Ahab made a Xgrove; and Ahab did more to provoke ! «the Lorp =God_of Israél to_anger than all the_ kings_of Israél that were before him.
34 In his days did Hiél the Beth-elite build -Jericho: he laid the_foundation thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and set_up the_gates thereof in his y oungest son Segub, according_to the_word_of ‘the Lorp, ‘which He spake by Joshua the_son_of Nun.
1 AND ¢Elijah the ¢ Tishbite, who Gilead, said unto Ahab, “As/ the Lorp =God_of Israél liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain xthese xyears, but according_to my word.”
2 And the_word_of Jthe Lorp came unto him, saying,
3 “.Get_thee_hence, and -turn thee eastward, and -hide_thyself by the brook ¢ Cherith, that is before xJordan.
4 And it -shall_be, that thou shalt_ drink of the brook; and I -have_com- manded -the ravens to sfeed thee there.”
5 So he went and did according_unto the_word_of! the Lorp: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is be- fore Jordan.
6 And the ravens +brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening ; and he tdrank of the brook.
7 And it came_to_pass «after a while, that the brook dried_up, because there had_been no rain in the land.
- 8 And the_word_of the Lorp came unto him, saying,
9 “Arise, «get thee to zZarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I -have_commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.”
10 So he arose and went to Zarephath.
