Et Achab fit une ashère; et Achab fit plus que tous les rois d'Israël qui avaient été avant lui, pour provoquer à colère l'Éternel, le Dieu d'Israël.
et il fit une idole d'Astarté. Achab fit plus encore que tous les rois d'Israël qui avaient été avant lui, pour irriter l'Eternel, le Dieu d'Israël.
Et Achab fit un bocage; de sorte qu'Achab fit encore pis que tous les Rois d'Israël qui avaient été avant lui, pour irriter l'Eternel le Dieu d'Israël.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Ahab made a grove,.... About the temple of Baal, or elsewhere, in which he placed an idol, and where all manner of filthiness was secretly committed; or rather "Asherah", rendered "grove", is Astarte, the goddess of the Zidonians, an image of which Ahab made:
and Ahab did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him: his idolatries being more open and barefaced, and without any excuse, presence, or colour, as well as more numerous.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 16:33. Ahab made a grove — אשרה Asherah, Astarte, or Venus; what the Syriac calls an idol, and the Arabic, a tall tree; probably meaning, by the last, an image of Priapus, the obscene keeper of groves, orchards, and gardens.
