1 Kings 21:17-29 - Elijah Responds To Ahab
17 And the word of Jehovah came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying: 18 Go to Ahab, king of Israel, in Samaria. He is in the garden of Naboth the Jezreelite. He went there to take it as his heritage. 19 Say to him: 'Jehovah says: Have you put a man to death and taken his heritage?' Then say: 'Jehovah says: Your blood will become the drink of dogs! You will go to the same place where the dogs drink the blood of Naboth.'
20 Ahab said to Elijah: Have you come face to face with me, O my enemy? Elijah said: I have come to you because you have given yourself up to do evil in the eyes of Jehovah. 21 Jehovah says to you: I will bring disaster on you. I will do away with you and get rid of every male in your family, young and old alike.
22 Your family will become like the family of King Jeroboam son of Nebat and like the family of King Baasha son of Ahijah. This is because you have stirred up my anger by leading Israel into sin. 23 Concerning Jezebel, Jehovah says: Dogs will eat her body in the city of Jezreel. 24 Dogs will eat your relatives dying in the city. Vultures will eat your dead relatives in the country.
25 No one else devoted himself so completely to doing wrong in Jehovah's sight as Ahab all at the urging of his wife Jezebel. 26 He committed the most shameful sins by worshiping idols the way the Amorites had done. Jehovah drove the Amorites from the land as the people of Israel advanced.
27 Elijah finished speaking. Ahab tore his clothes and took them off. He dressed in sackcloth. He refused food (fasted) and slept in the sackcloth. He was gloomy and depressed. 28 Jehovah said to the prophet Elijah: 29 Have you noticed how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Since he has done this, I will not bring disaster on him during his lifetime. It will be during his son's lifetime that I will bring disaster on Ahab's family.
