Ahab’s Credentials – I KGS 16 v evil in the sight of the Lord v “walked in the sins of Jeroboam” + he married Jezebel v he is committed to Baal v he is committed to other gods “and Ahab did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him”

JOSHUA 24:15 “Choose you this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
