Hebrew and Greek versions of the Books of Kings and Chronicles present various instances of kings undergoing conversion with respect to their political and religious attitudes. In some cases, kings who were initially good become bad, while in others, bad kings repent. This paper explores the "conversion" patterns of king Ahab, focusing on their respective themes and vocabulary. The paper focuses on a comparison of the Hebrew and Greek versions, showing that the pattern of conversion changed in the late period: the Greek versions focus more on interior conversion
