1 Kings 16:28So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.1 Kings 16:29And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years.1 Kings 16:30And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord above all that were before him.1 Kings 16:33And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.1 Kings 17:1And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.1 Kings 18:1And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the Lord came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.1 Kings 18:2And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. And there was a sore famine in Samaria.1 Kings 18:3And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the Lord greatly:1 Kings 18:5And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.1 Kings 18:6So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
