What did King Ahab and Jezebel promote in the northern kingdom of Israel?
King Ahab and Jezebel promoted the worship of Baal and idol worship in the northern kingdom of Israel, and many Israelites fell for it. Their ungodly rule continued even through a three-year drought, and they refused to change their ways.
Les teaches that Ahab and Jezebel were an ungodly, wicked king and queen ruling in the northern kingdom of Israel. He notes that Jezebel was probably the worst, and together they promoted the worship of Baal and idol worship, while the Israelites had been falling for it. Even when Elijah caused a three-year drought and northern Israel was burned up with lack of water, Ahab and Jezebel would not change their ways. This set the stage for Elijah gathering all Israel and the prophets of Baal at Mount Carmel.
