King Ahab had two problems. One, he could be manipulated. Two, he had a forceful wife. He was married to none other than Jezebel. Jezebel was the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians. Ethbaal became king by murdering his predecessor at Tyre, thus providing him the kingship of all the Phoenician cities. The royal marriage between Ahab and Jeze...
Idolatry was the first sin listed in the 10 commandments for a reason. Think about it. If your own sovereign God should appear to you, or a predecessor of yours, from within a cloud of thunder and lightning and should charge you that you may have no other gods except him, what should you do?

Ahab called his advisors together, repor...
