¹⁹ You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord, “^(A)Have you murdered and also taken possession?”’ And you shall speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord, “^(B)In the place where the dogs licked up the blood of Naboth the dogs will lick up your blood, even yours.”’”

^24 (A)The one belonging to Ahab, who dies in the city, the dogs will eat, and the one who dies in the field the birds of heaven will eat.”

^25 (B)Surely there was no one like Ahab who sold himself to do evil in the sight of the Lord, ^[a]because Jezebel his wife incited him. ^26 (C)He acted very abominably in following idols, ^(D)according to all that the Amorites had done, whom the Lord cast out before the sons of Israel.

²⁷ It came about when Ahab heard these words, that ^(E)he tore his clothes and put ^[b]on sackcloth and fasted, and he lay in sackcloth and went about ^[c]despondently. ²⁸ Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, ²⁹ “Do you see how Ahab has humbled himself before Me? Because he has humbled himself before Me, I will not bring the evil in his days, but I will bring the evil upon his house ^(F)in his son’s days.”
