Reading for August 18th

Read 1 Kings 21.15-29
In verse 18: Again, the phrase in Samaria is an addition.
In verses 20-24: The oracle against Ahab has been turned into a prophecy about the fall of the entire dynasty similar to those against the houses of jeroboam (14.7-11) and Baasha (16.4).
Verse 23, how ever, is new and is directed specifically against Jezebel.
I verses 27-29: Ahab's repentance delays the fall of the dynasty until after reign.
These verses were likely written by a different author from the one responsible for vv. 25-26, which view Ahab as the worst of all Israelite kings.
