1 Kings 21:23 In-Context

21 'I will most certainly bring doom upon you, make mincemeat of your descendants, kill off every sorry male wretch who's even remotely connected with the name Ahab.
22 And I'll bring down on you the same fate that fell on Jeroboam son of Nebat and Baasha son of Ahijah - you've made me that angry by making Israel sin.'"
23 As for Jezebel, God said, "Dogs will fight over the flesh of Jezebel all over Jezreel.
24 Anyone tainted by Ahab who dies in the city will be eaten by stray dogs; corpses in the country will be eaten by carrion crows."
25 Ahab, pushed by his wife Jezebel and in open defiance of God, set an all-time record in making big business of evil.
