Melachim Alef 21:23-29 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

23. And of Izevel also spoke Hashem, saying, The kelavim shall devour Izevel by the wall of Yizre'el.

24. Him of Ach'av that dieth in the Ir the kelavim shall devour; and him that dieth in the sadeh shall the oph haShomayim devour.

25. But there was none like unto Ach'av, which did sell himself to work rah before the eyes of Hashem, whom Izevel his isha urged on.

26. And he acted monstrously in going after gillulim (idols), according to all things as did HaEmori, whom Hashem drove out before the Bnei Yisroel.

27. And it came to pass, when Ach'av heard those words, that he tore his begadim, put sackcloth upon his basar, did a tzom, lay in sackcloth, and walked about subdued.

28. And the Devar Hashem came to Eliyahu the Tishbi, saying,

29. Seest thou how Ach'av humbleth himself before Me? because he humbleth himself before Me, I will not bring hara'ah in his days: but in the yamim bno will I bring ra'ah (disaster) upon his Bais [See 2Kgs 9:23-26].
