1 Kings

1 Kings 22:51–53

⁵¹In the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat’s reign over Judah, Ahaziah son of Ahab became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria two years. ⁵²And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the ways of his father and mother and of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin.

⁵³Ahaziah served and worshiped Baal, provoking the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger, just as his father had done.
