1 Kings 21:27-29

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁷ And when Achab had heard these words, he rent his garments, and put haircloth upon his flesh, and fasted and slept in sackcloth, and walked with his head cast down.

²⁸ And the word of the Lord came to Elias the Thesbite, saying:

²⁹ Hast thou not seen Achab humbled before me? therefore, because he hath humbled himself for my sake, I will not bring the evil in his days, but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.
