SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:33
Hizo también Acab bosques; y añadió Acab haciendo provocar a ira al SEÑOR Dios de Israel, más que todos los reyes de Israel que antes de él habían sido.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 16:33
Verse 33. Ahab made a grove] hra 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.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 33. And Ahab made a grove , etc.] 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 29-34 - Ahab did evil above all that reigned before him, and did it with particular enmity both against Jehovah and Israel. He was not satisfie with breaking the second commandment by image-worship, he broke the first by worshipping other gods: making light of lesser sins makes wa for greater. Marriages with daring offenders also imbolden in wickedness, and hurry men on to the greatest excesses. One of Ahab' subjects, following the example of his presumption, ventured to buil Jericho. Like Achan, he meddled with the accursed thing; turned that to his own use, which was devoted to God's honour: he began to build, in defiance of the curse well devoted to God's honour: he began to build in defiance of the curse well known in Israel; but none ever hardene his heart against God, and prospered. Let the reading of this chapte cause us to mark the dreadful end of all the workers of iniquity. An what does the history of all ungodly men furnish, what ever rank of situation they move in, but sad examples of the same __________________________________________________________________
