Ahab, the son of Kolaiah, was a false prophet among the Judean exiles in Babylon during the time of Jeremiah. The Lord declared that He would deliver Ahab and another false prophet, Zedekiah, into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, who would execute them. Their fate would become a curse used by the exiles, saying, "May the Lord make you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire." This judgment was due to their wickedness and adultery committed in the Lord's name. (Jer.29.21,22).

This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says about Ahab son of Kolaiah and Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying to you lies in My name: “I will deliver them to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will kill them before your very eyes.
Because of them, all the exiles of Judah who are in Babylon will use this curse: ‘May the LORD make you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire!’
