‏ 1 Kings 21:27-29

27 When Ahab heard these words, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and fasted. He slept in sackcloth and walked around dejected. 28 The Lord’s message came to Elijah the Tishbite, 29 “Have you noticed how Ahab shows remorse ^{▼▼tn Or “humbles himself.” The expression occurs a second time later in this verse.} 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.” ^{▼▼tn Heb “I will not bring the disaster during his days, [but] in the days of his son I will bring the disaster on his house.”}
