It took me nearly 20 minutes to read this passage. This passage retells some of the events in Ahab’s life after God showed his power on Mount Carmel. Ahab was a man of many moods, but most of the time it looks he sulked until somebody else gave him what he wanted. Many times Jezabel acted in his name. But God continued to use him to glorify the name of the LORD. Twice God defeated the armies of Aram because that king had defied God. Even when we are fighting against God he can make us an agent of his glory. Because of the few times that Ahab did respond to God he was spared some of the violence God planned for his family, but Ahab never fully surrendered to God.
