1 Reyes 21:25

1Ki 21:25 But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.

Ver. 25. But there was none like unto Ahab. ] A very non-such, as is before noted, bipedum nequissimus, non scelestus sed ipsum scelus.

Which did sell himself, &c., whom Jezebel, &c. ] She held him in such slavery, that, for a quiet life with her, and to enjoy her love, he was wholly at her service, not daring to deny anything that she would have done. This γυναικοκρατεια is a great mischief.
