Ahab continues to make poor and sinful decisions, and he seems to be unaware of how destructive and evil his wife is, or at least it seems that way. Because Jezebel underhandedly gets him what he wants she basically brings destruction to her family. Obviously, God is judging Ahab through his family, but ultimately she is the reason that the line of Ahab will face struggle.
We can live on the Holy Hill if God if we follow his commandments and become righteous.

Look! I have finally caught up!
Why do all the prophets seems so shady? The parts we have read recently all show a prophet lying to someone. I didn't get much from chapter 20, but 21 talks about how bad Ahab is and that he is quick to follow his wife Jezebel, who seems to be very evil, which in turn leads Ahab down an evil path instead of thinking for himself. What surprises me is at the end it says that after he and Jezebel have had Naboth killed in order to take his land, that Ahab hears how he and his wife will die and he tears his clothes and puts on sackcloth and goes around meekly. For some reason this tell God that he has humbled himself and decides he will not bring disaster on him but instead will leave it for his son. I am confused by this.
This psalm speaks of how we must behave in order to be considered righteous in the eyes of God. And that if we follow this we will never be shaken.
