With the people at large, however, no doubt, as Dr. Oobt says, the worship of the Baal, that is, of JHVH, was not 'anti-national, ' until the time of Ahab, when a new form of idolatry was sought to be introduced--the worship of the 'Tyrian Baal.' of Tyre, Melkarth TTji?. 5, meleeh kereth, 'king of the city', the worship of which deity seems to have been greatly extended and developed at that period. 98.
