1 Kings 21:27-29

International Children’s Bible

²⁷ After Elijah finished speaking, Ahab tore his clothes. He put on rough cloth and refused to eat. He even slept in the rough cloth. He did this to show how sad and upset he was.

²⁸ The Lord spoke his word to Elijah from Tishbe: ²⁹ “I see that Ahab is now sorry for what he has done. So I will not cause the trouble to come to him during his life. I will wait until his son is king. Then I will bring this trouble to Ahab’s family.”
