1 Kings 21:22 In-Context

20 Ahab said to Elijah, "Have you found me, O my enemy?" He answered, "I have found you. Because you have sold yourself to do what is evil in the sight of the Lord,
21 I will bring disaster on you; I will consume you, and will cut off from Ahab every male, bond or free, in Israel;
22 and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha son of Ahijah, because you have provoked me to anger and have caused Israel to sin.
23 Also concerning Jezebel the Lord said, "The dogs shall eat Jezebel within the bounds of Jezreel.'
24 Anyone belonging to Ahab who dies in the city the dogs shall eat; and anyone of his who dies in the open country the birds of the air shall eat."
