27And it happened, when Ahab heard these words, that he tore his clothes and put sackcloth on his flesh and fasted and lay in sackcloth and went about softly.

28And the word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

29Have you seen that Ahab has humbled himself before me? Because he has humbled himself before me, I will not bring the disaster in his days; in his son's days I will bring the disaster on his house.
