1 Kings 21:27-29

Expanded Bible

²⁷ After Elijah finished speaking, Ahab tore his clothes. He put on ·rough cloth [sackcloth; burlap; ^Cindicating sorrow and contrition] and fasted, and even slept in ·the rough cloth [sackcloth; burlap] and walked about ·dejectedly [despondently; with slow steps].

²⁸ The ·Lord spoke his word [^Lword of the Lord came] to Elijah the Tishbite: ²⁹ “·I see that [^LHave you seen how…?] Ahab ·is now sorry for what he has done [has now humbled himself before me]. So I will not ·cause the trouble to come to him during his life [^Lbring this evil/disaster on him during his days], but I will wait until his son is king. Then I will bring this ·trouble [evil; disaster] to Ahab’s ·family [^Lhouse].”
