Answer Details
The religious tension in Israel during the reign of King Ahab was caused by Jezebel's introduction of idol worship. Jezebel was the queen of Israel and the wife of King Ahab. She was a strong supporter of the worship of the pagan god Baal and encouraged Ahab to abandon the worship of the one true God and follow her lead. This caused great tension in Israel, as many of the people still worshiped the Lord and opposed the spread of idol worship. The prophet Elijah was a strong voice of opposition to Jezebel's efforts and challenged the people to choose between the worship of the Lord and the worship of Baal. This conflict ultimately led to a showdown between Elijah and the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, which demonstrated the power of the Lord over all other gods.
