King of the northern kingdom of Israel who was reproved by Elijah for promoting Baal worship through his wife Jezebel. The UB cites the Naboth story (Ahab's murder of Naboth to seize his vineyard) as exemplifying the clash between old tribal land rights and royal prerogative. Jesus studied Ahab's story in childhood as part of his synagogue education.
