• Newari: “He followed the ways of the kings of Israel like the house of Ahab had done. For he had married a daughter of Ahab. He did evil work that was not pleasing to the LORD.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “He followed the ways-of-living of the kings of Israel, like what the household of Ahab had-done, for he had-married the child of Ahab. He did evil in the sight of the LORD.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
