Ahab
(redirected from Achav)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Ahab (c. 875–854 BC)

King of Israel. His empire included the suzerainty of Moab, and Judah was his subordinate ally, but his kingdom was weakened by constant wars with Syria. By his marriage with Jezebel, Princess of Sidon, Ahab introduced into Israel the worship of the Phoenician god Baal, thus provoking the hostility of Elijah and other prophets. Ahab died in battle against the Syrians at Ramoth Gilead.
