1 Kings 16:28-32 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

28. Omri rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria. His son Ahab became king in his place.

29. Ahab son of Omri became king over Israel in the thirty-eighth year of Judah’s King Asa; Ahab son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria 22 years.

30. But Ahab son of Omri did what was evil in the Lord’s sight more than all who were before him.

31. Then, as if following the sin of Jeroboam son of Nebat were a trivial matter, he married Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and then proceeded to serve Baal and worship him.

32. He set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal that he had built in Samaria.
