Reading for September 16th

 Read 1 Kings 21.15-29. Again, the phrase in Samaria is an addition. In verses 20-24: The oracle against Ahab has been turned into a prophecy about the entire dynasty, similar as been to those against the houses (14.7-11) and Baasha (16.1-4). Verse 23, however, is new and is directed specifically against Jezebel. In verses 27-29: Ahab's repentance delays the fall of the dynasty until after his 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. Comments or Questions..
