1 Kings 21:26-28

The Voice

²⁶ Ahab was incredibly wicked, giving his life over to idols as the Amorites (whom the Eternal handed to the Israelites) had done. ²⁷ When Ahab heard all of this, he ripped off his clothing, dressed himself in sackcloth, and entered into a time of fasting. He rested in depression, wearing only sackcloth.

²⁸ The word of the Eternal One visited Elijah the Tishbite.
