"And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherein he made Israel to sin." — 1 Kings 22:52 (ASV)
Ver. 52 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord
Which evil was idolatry:
and walked in the way of his father ;
his father Ahab, who worshipped Baal:
and in the way of his mother ;
his mother Jezebel, who was still living, and served Baal and Astarte, the deities of her country:
and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat ;
who set up and worshipped the golden calves:
who made Israel to sin ;
by the worship of the same, into which he drew them by his example and authority.
