So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.
Ahab died, and his body was brought to Samaria, where he was buried. He was struck down by the Syrians in battle. He entered that expedition after rejecting the true warning that it would end in defeat, and Israel's armies were scattered just as that warning had declared.
His death came less than three years after Elijah pronounced God's judgment upon him. It was a fearful end, an act of God's judgment upon those who set aside God's law. His son Ahaziah had witnessed his father's end as evidence and warning of that judgment, but dismissed it as an idle tale, failed to heed it, and continued to worship Baal. After Ahab's death his son Ahaziah succeeded him as king.
