1 Kings 20-21

20 - In spite of wicked Ahab, the Lord brings about multiple victories over Ben-Hadad, and the Syrian armies who attempted to sack and enslave Israel. Yet, in his pride Ahab lets Ben-Hadad go free, and makes a peace treaty with Syria, so God declares a future judgement upon Ahab.

21 - Ahab and Jezebel conspire to murder Naboth, to steal his small plot of land that the king wanted, demonstrating again how completely twisted and wicked they both were. God sends the prophet to Ahab, telling him how He and Jezebel will die, and how his heritage will be completely wiped out. Yet, when Ahab humbles himself before God, the Lord shows him some mercy.
