And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.] That he might not go so far as Tyre or Zidon; and for his wife’s convenience also he built a temple in Samaria for Baal, and erected an altar there to offer sacrifices upon it unto him; so open and daring was he in his idolatrous practices.
