1 Kings 16 • 1 min. read • grade level: 10

V.1-7 Basha reaps his own punishment because of his bad example before the 10 tribes.

V.8-14 Sorrow through strong drink — it is a sin against God to get drunk (Gal. 5:21²¹Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:21)).

V.15-20 He was the king for just 7 days, and then lost his life, because he plotted the death of another compare (1 John 3:14¹⁴And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: (John 3:14)).

V.21-28 What a reputation this fellow had (v. 25). He did better than all before him. He was a success but it was all evil in God’s eyes!

V.29-34 But Ahab went even further, deliberately marrying a wicked woman of the Gentiles, worshipping heathen gods, and then setting up a heathen idol, “grove” (v. 33).
