And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD — Elijah's response frames Ahab's fundamental sin: he has "sold himself" to evil—consciously chosen covenant violation. The phrase shows Elijah's accusation that Ahab is enslaved to his own wickedness.
