Ahab
Ahab was a king of Israel. In the Ascension of Isaiah it is recalled that in his days Hezekiah the son of Chandni had been the teacher of the four hundred prophets of Baal. Ahab reproved Micaiah the son of Amada and cast him into prison. Ahaziah the son of Ahab ruled as king in Samaria, where false prophets were associated with him.
The Kebra Nagast mentions that Elijah rebuked Ahab. The Cave of Treasures states that God was angry with Jehosaphat because he was a friend of the house of Ahab, and that the sister of Ahab reigned seven years in Jerusalem. She polluted the city with fornication and adopted all the heathen practices of the house of Ahab.
