21Behold, I am bringing disaster upon you, and I will sweep away after you, and I will cut off from Ahab every male, both bond and free in Israel.

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

23And also concerning Jezebel, Yahweh spoke, saying, ‘The dogs will eat Jezebel in the territory of Jezreel.’

24Anyone belonging to Ahab who dies in the city the dogs will eat, and anyone who dies in the field the birds of the sky will eat.

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

26He acted very abominably by going after idols, according to all that the Amorites had done, whom Yahweh drove out before the sons of Israel.
