1 Kings 21:23 In-Context

21 "Behold, I will bring evil upon you, and will utterly sweep you away, and will cut off from Ahab every male , both bond and free in Israel;

22 and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, because of the provocation with which you have provoked Me to anger, and because you have made Israel sin.

23 "Of Jezebel also has the LORD spoken, saying, 'The dogs will eat Jezebel in the district of Jezreel.'

24 "The one belonging to Ahab, who dies in the city, the dogs will eat, and the one who dies in the field the birds of heaven will eat."

25 Surely there was no one like Ahab who sold himself to do evil in the sight of the LORD , because Jezebel his wife incited him.
