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.”
