This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

1Ki 21:25, 1Ki 21:26 contain a reflection on the part of the historian concerning Ahab's ungodly conduct, whereby he brought such an ignominious end upon himself and his house. וגו הָיָה לֹא רַק, “only there has not been (one) like Ahab,” i.e., there was no one else like Ahab, “who sold himself,” etc. הֵסַתָּה for הֵסֵיתָה, from סוּת, to entice, to seduce or lead astray (cf. Ewald, §114, a., and Ges. §72, Anm. 6). וַיַּתְעֵב, and he acted abominably. Amorites: for Canaanites, as in Gen 15:16, etc.
