1 Kings 21:25-29
1599 Geneva Bible
25 (But there was none like Ahab, who did [a]sell himself to work wickedness, in the sight of the Lord, whom Jezebel his wife provoked.
26 For he did exceeding abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom the Lord cast out before the children of Israel.)
27 Now when Ahab heard those words, he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon [b]him, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went [c]softly.
28 And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
29 Seest thou how Ahab is humbled before me? because he submitteth himself before me, I will not bring that evil in his days, but in his [d]sons’ days will I bring evil upon his house.
