AB The article explores the biblical portrayal of the Omride kings of Israel as worshippers of the Phoenician god Baal and challenges this depiction by presenting historical and archaeological evidence suggesting that the Omrides may have actually elevated Yahweh as Israel's patron deity. Topics include the Mesha Stele's reference to Yahweh, the use of Yahwistic names by the Omrides, and the polemic against Baal in the Bible.
