30 U-Ahabi indodana ka-Omri wenza okubi kakhulu emehlweni kaJehova kunabo bonke ababengaphambi kwakhe. + 31 Njengokungathi kwakuyinto encane ukuba ahambe ezonweni zikaJerobowamu + indodana kaNebhati, wabuye wathatha uJezebeli + indodakazi ka-Etibhali inkosi yamaSidoni + ukuba abe ngumkakhe, waqala ukukhonza uBhali + nokumkhothamela. 32 Ngaphezu kwalokho, wamisela uBhali i-altare endlini* kaBhali + ayakha eSamariya.
