NSB(i)
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.«
