1 Kings 21:22-29
21:22 I will make your dynasty
like those of Jeroboam son of Nebat and Baasha son of Ahijah because you angered me and made Israel sin.’
21:23 The
Lord says this about Jezebel, ‘Dogs will devour Jezebel by the outer wall
of Jezreel.’
21:24 As for Ahab’s family, dogs will eat the ones
who die in the city, and the birds of the sky will eat the ones who die in the country.”
21:25 (There had never been anyone like Ahab, who was firmly committed
to doing evil in the sight of
the
Lord, urged on by his wife Jezebel.
21:26 He was so wicked he worshiped the disgusting idols,
just like the Amorites
whom the
Lord had driven out from before the Israelites.)
21:27 When Ahab heard these words, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and fasted. He slept in sackcloth and walked around dejected.
21:28 The Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite,
21:29 “Have you noticed how Ahab shows remorse before me? Because he shows remorse before me, I will not bring disaster on his dynasty during his lifetime, but during the reign of his son.”
