Baal

“After that whole generation had also been gathered to their fathers, another generation rose up who did not know the LORD or the works that He had done for Israel.”

“Then Samuel said to all the house of Israel, “If you are returning to the LORD with all your hearts, then rid yourselves of the foreign gods and Ashtoreths among you, prepare your hearts for the LORD, and serve Him only. And He will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines.””

“So the Israelites put away the Baals and Ashtoreths and served only the LORD.”

“They abandoned all the commandments of the LORD their God and made for themselves two cast idols of calves and an Asherah pole. They bowed down to all the host of heaven and served Baal.”

““Among the prophets of Samaria I saw an offensive thing: They prophesied by Baal and led My people Israel astray.”

“When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling; he was exalted in Israel. But he incurred guilt through Baal, and he died.”

“And as if it were not enough for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, he even married Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and he then proceeded to serve and worship Baal.”

““I have not troubled Israel,” Elijah replied, “but you and your father’s house have, for you have forsaken the commandments of the LORD and have followed the Baals.”
