Ahab was king of Israel, where God's high priests had been abolished by Ahab's predecessor, Jeroboam. In the twin kingdom of Judah, where Jehoshaphat was king, there is no record of a high priest at this time.

Who gave saul permission to go to damascus?

Saul did not need permission to go to Damascus as he could travel where ever he liked, but he did need permission from the High Priest to go to Damascus and arrest persons who were following "The Way", which was the expression used to mean following Jesus' teachings. The High Priest could have been one of three persons as we are not exactly sure of the date this happened. Caiaphas was nearing the end of his time in 34 A.D. and Jonathan Ben Hanan was High Priest in 36 A.D., with Theophilus being High Priest in 37 A.D. It was in this time frame that Saul was traveling to Damascus on this mission.

What was King Ahab's impact on Israel?

AnswerKing Ahab ruled Israel from 873-852 BCE. The Old Testament Book of Kings downplays the positive side of his reign and emphasises his marriage to the Phoenician princess Jezebel, whom it criticises strenuously.The Book of Kings attributes a great expansion of Israelite territory to King David, during the century before the time of Ahab, leaving Ahab as merely a moderately successful military leader. Modern archaeologists are being forced to re-evaluate this, and see Ahab and his father, Omri, as the great military leaders who oversaw the expansion of Israelite territory, not David.When archaeologists were excavating Megiddo, they found buildings that looked like magnificent stables. Of course, they at first attributed them to King Solomon who - the Bible explains - owned a lot of horses and chariots. The new view is that they probably belonged to King Ahab. For this theory there is extra-Biblical evidence from Israel's traditional enemy, Assyria. In 853, King Shalmaneser led a major invasion force against Syria, Phoenicia and Israel. A coalition of nations met him near Qarqar in western Syria. Apparently Shalmaneser won because he claimed victory and erected a monument known as the Monolith Inscription in which he gloats how he triumphed over all the armies arrayed against him, including "Ahab the Israelite" with 2,000 chariots and 10,000 foot soldiers.
