who sold himself to do what was evil
(Some words not found in UHB: only not it_became like,Ahab which/who sold for=doing the,evil in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH which/who incited DOM=him/it ʼĪzeⱱel/(Jezebel) his/its=wife/woman )
A person being committed to doing what is evil is spoken of as if that person had sold himself to evil. See how you translated this idea in 1 Kings 21:20. Alternate translation: “who dedicated himself to doing what was evil”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
what was evil in the sight of Yahweh
(Some words not found in UHB: only not it_became like,Ahab which/who sold for=doing the,evil in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH which/who incited DOM=him/it ʼĪzeⱱel/(Jezebel) his/its=wife/woman )
The phrase, “in the sight of” refers to someone’s opinion. See how you translated this in 1 Kings 11:6. Alternate translation: “what Yahweh considers to be evil”
21:25-26 The author interrupts his account to reemphasize (see 16:30-34) Ahab’s evil character, to denounce the king’s commitment to idolatry, and to condemn his weakness in allowing himself to be under the influence of his wife Jezebel. Wicked Jezebel would stop at nothing to achieve her own ends (18:4; 19:1-2; 21:5-10, 15). Though arrogant and defiant to the end (2 Kgs 9:30-31), she eventually met her predicted doom (1 Kgs 21:23; 2 Kgs 9:32-37).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
