OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_was light_thing walk_him in/on/at/with_sins of_Yārāⱱəˊām/(Jeroboam) the_son of_Nebat and_he/it_took a_wife DOM Jezebel the_daughter of_Ethbaal the_king of_[the]_Tsīdonī/(Sidonians) and_he/it_went and_serve DOM the_Baˊal and_worshiped to_him/it.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
It was to Ahab a trivial thing to walk in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was ?,light_thing walk,him in/on/at/with,sins Yārāⱱəˊām/(Jeroboam) son_of Nebat and=he/it_took woman/wife DOM Jezebel daughter_of Ethbaal king Tsīdonī/(Sidonians) and=he/it_went and,serve DOM the,Baal and,worshiped to=him/it )
This implies that Ahab wanted to commit worse sins. The full meaning of this statement can be made explicit. Alternate translation: “It was as if Ahab thought that walking in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat was not enough”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
It was to Ahab a trivial thing
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was ?,light_thing walk,him in/on/at/with,sins Yārāⱱəˊām/(Jeroboam) son_of Nebat and=he/it_took woman/wife DOM Jezebel daughter_of Ethbaal king Tsīdonī/(Sidonians) and=he/it_went and,serve DOM the,Baal and,worshiped to=him/it )
This is an idiom. The phrase “to Ahab” means that Ahab considered or thought something. Alternate translation: “Ahab considered it a trivial thing” or “Ahab thought that it was not enough”
a trivial thing
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was ?,light_thing walk,him in/on/at/with,sins Yārāⱱəˊām/(Jeroboam) son_of Nebat and=he/it_took woman/wife DOM Jezebel daughter_of Ethbaal king Tsīdonī/(Sidonians) and=he/it_went and,serve DOM the,Baal and,worshiped to=him/it )
Alternate translation: “an insignificant thing” or “not enough”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
to walk in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was ?,light_thing walk,him in/on/at/with,sins Yārāⱱəˊām/(Jeroboam) son_of Nebat and=he/it_took woman/wife DOM Jezebel daughter_of Ethbaal king Tsīdonī/(Sidonians) and=he/it_went and,serve DOM the,Baal and,worshiped to=him/it )
Walking in Jeroboam’s sins represents sinning as Jeroboam had sinned. Alternate translation: “to sin as Jeroboam son of Nebat had sinned”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
worshiped Baal and bowed down to him
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was ?,light_thing walk,him in/on/at/with,sins Yārāⱱəˊām/(Jeroboam) son_of Nebat and=he/it_took woman/wife DOM Jezebel daughter_of Ethbaal king Tsīdonī/(Sidonians) and=he/it_went and,serve DOM the,Baal and,worshiped to=him/it )
These two phrases mean the same thing. The phrase “bowed down to him” describes the posture that people used in worship.
16:31-33 The spiritual evaluation of Ahab is the worst yet among the kings of Israel. Later, Ahab’s evil behavior was attributed to his being “under the influence of his wife Jezebel” (21:25). Ahab and Jezebel propagated Canaanite worship rites, leading Israel further from the Lord. Added to Jeroboam’s false worship system, these sins eventually spelled disaster for Israel.
