1 Kings 21:24 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Kings 21:24

22 I will make your house like the house of ^aJeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of ^bBaasha the son of Ahijah, because of the provocation with which you have provoked Me to anger, and made Israel sin.’

23 And ^aconcerning Jezebel the Lord also spoke, saying, ‘The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.’

24 The dogs shall eat ^awhoever belongs to Ahab and dies in the city, and the birds of the air shall eat whoever dies in the field.”

25 But ^athere was no one like Ahab who sold himself to do wickedness in the sight of the Lord, ^bbecause Jezebel his wife stirred him up.

26 And he behaved very abominably in following idols, according to all ^athat the Amorites had done, whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.

27 So it was, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes and ^aput sackcloth on his body, and fasted and lay in sackcloth, and went about mourning.

28 And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

29 “See how Ahab has humbled himself before Me? Because he ^ahas humbled himself before Me, I will not bring the calamity in his days. ^bIn the days of his son I will bring the calamity on his house.”
