Read in context

1 Kings 22:36–40 · Berean Standard Bible

36 As the sun was setting, the cry rang out in the army: “Every man to his own city, and every man to his own land!”

37 So the king died and was brought to Samaria, where they buried him.

38 And the chariot was washed at the pool of Samaria where the prostitutes bathed, and the dogs licked up Ahab’s blood, according to the word that the LORD had spoken.

39 As for the rest of the acts of Ahab, along with all his accomplishments and the ivory palace and all the cities he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

40 And Ahab rested with his fathers, and his son Ahaziah reigned in his place.
