Ahab inherited the throne from his father Omri around 871 BC and ruled Israel for twenty-two years. His marriage to Jezebel of Sidon tied him to Baal worship, earning condemnation in Hebrew scripture as the architect of Israel's religious slide. Outside the Bible, the Kurkh Monolith confirms he was real: in 853 BC he joined an alliance of a dozen kings to face the Neo-Assyrian Empire at the Battle of Qarqar, where Shalmaneser III claimed victory. The Mesha Stele references him without using his name. Modern scholars doubt the biblical portrait's reliability, but the throne and the chariots were not inventions.
