1 Kings 21:25,26 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

There was none like unto Ahab Among all the kings of Israel who had been before him. Whom Jezebel his wife stirred up This is added to show that temptations to sin are no excuse to the sinner. He did very abominably in following idols, &c. There was no abomination which the people of Canaan committed, (here called the Amorites, according to their ancient name, Genesis 15:16,) which Ahab did not imitate.
