Definition: Verse 1: The king, named Ahab, was a man of strong will, and he wanted to lead his kingdom in power and wealth. But God had other plans for him. Verse 2: One day, Ahab's wife asked him if he would be willing to surrender his kingdom to God because of the promise made to her when they were married. Verse 3: Ahab said yes, but a problem arose with one of his own servants. The servant wanted to take some of his treasures and give them to his neighbors as a favor. Verse 4: Ahab argued that he would be the first to give everything back if this happened. But his wife told him she did not want to do so because it was against God's will, and they were still in love with each other. Verse 5: Ahab thought of an even better plan. He decided that one day, all his servants would be taken from him and sent to a place far away, where they would worship and serve the gods of those who had been driven out of their land. Verse 6: But this idea was not well-received among his followers. They were hesitant about losing Ahab's kingdom and loved one so much. Some even suggested that Ahab should go back to his old life as he always had been, which would mean giving everything away without any hope for a chance of redemption. Verse 7: So Ahab was bitter, and he refused to surrender his kingdom again, despite the threats from his wife's servants. The king's reign would be short-lived, but God would continue to bless him with more power and influence over his people.
