Contextual Overview

17 Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 18 "Get ready and go down to Samaria to meet Ahab king of Israel. He is in Naboth's grape-field. He has gone down to take it for his own. 19 And you will speak to him, saying, ‘This is what the Lord says, "Have you killed and also taken away?" And you will speak to him, saying, "This is what the Lord says, ‘The dogs will drink up your blood in the place where the dogs drank up the blood of Naboth.'"'" 20 Ahab said to Elijah, "Have you found me, O you who hate me?" Elijah answered, "I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do what is sinful in the eyes of the Lord. 21 See, I will bring trouble upon you. I will destroy you. I will kill every male of Ahab in Israel, both those who are servants and those who are free. 22 I will make your house like the family of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the family of Baasha the son of Ahijah. Because you have made Me angry, and have made Israel sin. 23 And the Lord has spoken about Jezebel, saying, ‘The dogs will eat Jezebel in the land of Jezreel.' 24 The dogs will eat anyone belonging to Ahab who dies in the city. The birds of the air will eat anyone belonging to Ahab who dies in the field." 25 There was no one who sold himself to do what is sinful in the eyes of the Lord like Ahab did. His wife Jezebel moved him to do it. 26 He did what was hated by following false gods. He did all that the Amorites had done, whom the Lord drove out in front of the people of Israel.

for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin: not only by his worship of the calves, but of the idols of the Zidonians, particularly Baal, and also of the Amorites, 1 Kings 21:26.
