Kings in the north come and go in this chapter until we come to one of the worst of all—Ahab. He did as every king before and after him by walking in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat. But the historian makes an interesting comment about Ahab’s attitude—he did these evils “as if it had been a light thing” (v. 3). We might use the word “trivial” today. There is no such thing as a “trivial” manner of living! His trivial thing included his marriage to one of the most evil women of all times—the idol-worshipping Jezebel.
