The story of Ahab and Jezebel. One of the worst mistakes Ahab made was to marry Jezebel. Under Jezebel's influence, Ahab and the nation went from worshiping the one true God to worshiping Baal and Asherah. Jezebel's witchcraft brought so much sin into the nation. Eventually, Jehu, by the Word of the Lord, began to clean up the nation.
