EthanAhab son of Omri did more evil in the sight of YHWH than all who were before him. As if following in the sinful footsteps of Jeroboam son of Nebat were not bad enough, he married Jezebel the daughter of King Ethbaal of the Sidonians. Then he worshiped and bowed to Baal (1 Kings 16:30-31).
The chronicles of the kings of #Israel and #Judah between #Solomon and #Ahab were set forth in short order in 1 Kings.
The Kings author strongly condemned #Jeroboam ben Nebat's establishment of competing temples of YHWH in Dan and Bethel.
Dynasties arose and fell in Israel according to the judgment of God; they all maintained these temple cults.
