36 Then the shout passed through the camp about sunset, saying, "Each man to his city and each to his land!"

37 So the king died, and {they brought him} to Samaria, and they buried the king in Samaria.

39 The remainder of the acts of Ahab and all that he did, and the ivory palace and all the cities that he built, [are] they not written in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?
