1 Kings 21:24 Context
22And will make thine house like the house of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the sonne of Ahiiah, for the prouocation wherewith thou hast prouoked mee to anger, and made Israel to sinne. 23And of Iezebel also spake the Lord, saying, The dogs shall eate Iezebel by the wall of Iezreel. 24Him that dieth of Ahab in the citie, the dogs shall eate: and him that dieth in the field, shall the foules of the aire eat. 25¶ But there was none like vnto Ahab, which did sell himselfe to worke wickednesse in the sight of the Lord, whom Iezebel his wife stirred vp. 26And hee did very abominably in following Idoles, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the Lord cast out before the children of Israel.
