24. Anyone belonging to Ahab who dies in the city the dogs shall eat, and anyone of his who dies in the open country the birds of the heavens shall eat.”
25. (There was none who sold himself to do what was evil in the sight of the Lord like Ahab, whom Jezebel his wife incited.
26. He acted very abominably in going after idols, as the Amorites had done, whom the Lord cast out before the people of Israel.)
27. And when Ahab heard those words, he tore his clothes and put sackcloth on his flesh and fasted and lay in sackcloth and went about dejectedly.
28. And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
29. “Have you seen how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Because he has humbled himself before me, I will not bring the disaster in his days; but in his son’s days I will bring the disaster upon his house.”
