1 Kings chapters 16 – 22 tells the story of Ahab and Jezebel, and indicates that Jezebel was a bad influence on Ahab.

According to the Tanakh, however, Ahab with 7, 000 troops had previously overthrown Ben-hadad and his thirty-two kings, who had come to lay siege to Samaria, and in the following year obtained a decisive victory over him at Aphek, probably in the plain of Sharon at Antipatris ( 1 Kings 20 ).

The first encounter has to do with Elijah, whom Ahab refers to as " the troubler of Israel " ( 1 Kings 18: 17 ), in which Elijah predicts a drought ( 1 Kings 17: 1 ).

The contest ends when Elijah's God consumes the offering which the Baal worshipers could not induce their god to touch, after which Elijah slaughters the Baal prophets ( 1 Kings 18: 17 – 40 ).

The second encounter is between Ahab and two unnamed prophets in 1 Kings 20: 22.

The third is when Elijah confronts Ahab over Ahab and Jezebel's execution of Naboth and usurpation of his land in 1 Kings 21.

The fourth encounter is with Micaiah, the prophet who, when asked for advice on a military campaign, first assures Ahab he will be successful and ultimately gives Ahab a glimpse into God's plan for Ahab to die in battle ( 1 Kings 22 ).

While the above passages from 1 Kings do not view Ahab unfavourably, there are others which are less friendly.

Essentially, 1 Kings 16: 29 through 20: 40 is the story of Ahab's reign.

Indeed, he is referred to, for this and other things as being " more evil than all the kings before him " ( 1 Kings 16: 30 ).

His denunciation of the royal dynasty of Israel, and his emphatic insistence on the worship of Yahweh and Yahweh alone, illustrated by the contest between Yahweh and Baal on Mount Carmel, as told in 1 Kings 18, form the keynote to a period which culminated in the accession of Jehu, an event in which Elijah's chosen disciple Elisha was the leading figure.
