1 Kings 21:22

And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son
of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah
Two of his predecessors, whose families were utterly destroyed, ( 1 Kings 15:29 ) ( 16:11 ) ,

for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and made
Israel to sin:
not only by his worship of the calves, but of the idols of the Zidonians, particularly Baal, and also of the Amorites, ( 1 Kings 21:26 ) .

1 Kings 21:22 In-Context

20 Ach'av said to Eliyahu, "My enemy! You've found me!" He answered, "Yes, I have found you; because you have given yourself over to do what is evil from ADONAI's perspective.
21 'Here,' [says ADONAI,] 'I am bringing disaster on you! I will sweep you away completely; I will cut off from Ach'av every male, whether a slave or free in Isra'el.
22 I will make your house like the house of Yarov'am the son of N'vat and like the house of Ba'sha the son of Achiyah for provoking my anger and leading Isra'el into sin.'
23 ADONAI also said this about Izevel: 'The dogs will eat Izevel by the wall around Yizre'el.
24 If someone from the line of Ach'av dies in the city, the dogs will eat him; if he dies in the countryside, the vultures will eat him.'"
