23 And the LORD {YHWH} also speaks concerning Jezebel (Baal exalts): ‘The dogs will devour Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.’

24 Anyone belonging to Ahab (father's brother) who dies in the city will be eaten by dogs, and anyone who dies in the field will be eaten by the birds of the air.”

25 (Surely there was never one like Ahab (father's brother), who sold himself to do evil in the sight of the LORD {YHWH}, incited by his wife Jezebel (Baal exalts).

26 He committed the most detestable acts by going after idols, just like the Amorites (sayers) whom the LORD {YHWH} had driven out before the Israelites (God prevails).)

27 When Ahab (father's brother) heard these words, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and fasted. He lay down in sackcloth and walked around meekly.

28 Then the word of the LORD {YHWH} came to Elijah (my God is YHWH) the Tishbite (captivity), saying:

29 “Have you seen how Ahab (father's brother) has humbled himself before Me? Because he has humbled himself before Me, I will not bring the calamity during his days, but I will bring it upon his house in the days of his son.”
