The Israelites (the Hebrews) were not expelled from Israel soon after the end of King Ahab's rule. He was succeeded without issue by his son Ahaziah and the kingdom was more or less unchanged.
Eventually, the Assyrians conquered Israel and expelled the Israelites in 722 BCE. They did this in the typical fashion they had done to every previous empire that they had conquered. In the Ancient Period, people predominantly determined their identity in connection to the land they lived on rather than common culture or language which is used today. As a result, if you forced people to move to different lands, you could destroy their separate identity and make them less likely to revolt. In this regard, the Assyrians were successful and the Ten Israelite tribes in Israel have been lost to history.
Ahab ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahab ).
According to the Bible, at 1 Kings 16:31, Jezebel was married to a king of the nation of Israel named Ahab who reigned in the tenth century BC.
King Ahab did more evil than all the kings of Israel who came before him. He married Jezebel, who introduced the worship of Baal and Asherah to Israel. Ahab also built an altar and temple for Baal in Samaria, and engaged in various idolatrous practices, leading the people of Israel astray from their worship of God.
No, Ahab was not considered the seventh and most righteous king of Israel. In fact, he is often regarded as one of the most wicked kings due to his idolatry and leading Israel away from worshiping Yahweh. His reign is noted for promoting the worship of Baal and for his conflicts with the prophet Elijah, which ultimately highlighted his unrighteousness. The kings considered righteous, such as Hezekiah and Josiah, are those who sought to restore true worship in Israel.
After King Ahab's death, his son Ahaziah became the king of Israel. However, Ahaziah ruled for a short time before he was succeeded by his brother Jehoram (also known as Joram). Jehoram reigned over Israel and continued the legacy of his father, Ahab, in following the practices of the house of Ahab.
Moses did not trust in God as concerns the "famous rock incident", the Hebrews did not trust in God when they constructed the Golden Calf, the Prophets of Ba'al did not trust in God during the Reign of Ahab, and there are numerous other similar instances.
According to the Bible, Ba'al Worship came to Israel through King Ahab's wife, Queen Jezebel for whom Ba'al Worship was her native religion.
Ahab, king of Israel, was buried in Samaria after he died in battle. His bones were later removed from his tomb by the order of Jehu, who deemed Ahab unworthy of a proper burial due to his sinful actions.
Elijah lived in the Northern Kingdom of Israel circa 870-850 B.C.E. Ahab was the king of the Northern Kingdom (869-850 BCE) and Jeshoshaphat (873-849 BCE) in the Southern Kingdom during Elijah's time as prophet.
Israel began to turn back to polytheism during the reign of King Ahab, who ruled in the 9th century BCE. Ahab, influenced by his wife Jezebel, promoted the worship of Baal and other deities, leading the nation away from the worship of Yahweh. His actions, along with the establishment of altars and temples for these foreign gods, marked a significant departure from monotheistic practices in Israel. This shift was met with opposition from prophets like Elijah, who sought to call the people back to their covenant with Yahweh.
Ahab is associated with the biblical figure of King Ahab, who ruled the northern kingdom of Israel during the 9th century B.C. Ahab is also the name of the vengeful sea captain in Herman Melville's novel "Moby-Dick."
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.
