Instead of calling him by his first name: &#8220;Ahab&#8221;, he is called with dignity over and over again: &#8220;The king of Israel&#8221; (4, 7, 11, 21-22, 28, 31-32) and &#8220;King Ahab of Israel&#8221; (13). God sends prophets to advise him how to win his wars. All the people and all the elders support him (7, 8).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Suddenly Ahab is described as a good wise successful king. So good that he puts his people&#8217;s interest above his and his family&#8217;s interest (3-7). So wise that he asks advice from all the elders of the land (7) and follows it. So successful that he defeats the strong enemy twice year after year (21, 29).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So why does all this goodness, wisdom and success disappear at once?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because King Ahab changes his behavior for the worse. He disobeys God and commits sins of immorality. Ahab puts his own interest above his servant Naboth&#8217;s interest, takes his servant&#8217;s vineyard and makes it his own garden. Ahab has no mercy on a good servant of his own people and lets the queen murders him. At the same time Ahab has mercy on the cruel King Ben-hadad of the Aramean enemy. Therefore God punished Ahab severely. A soldier of the very cruel king who was spared by Ahab, killed him (1 Kings 22, 34-35).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":62916,"id":62916,"title":"1kings20-right
