Kings III 20:27

27 And because of the word, Achaab was pierced with sorrow before the Lord, and he both went weeping, and rent his garment, and girt sackcloth upon his body, and fasted; he put on sackcloth also in the day that he smote Nabuthai the Jezraelite, and went his way.

Kings III 20:27 In-Context

25 But Achaab wickedly, in that he sold himself to do that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his wife Jezabel led him astray.

26 And he did very abominably in following after the abominations, according to all that the Amorite did, whom the Lord utterly destroyed from before the children of Israel.

27 And because of the word, Achaab was pierced with sorrow before the Lord, and he both went weeping, and rent his garment, and girt sackcloth upon his body, and fasted; he put on sackcloth also in the day that he smote Nabuthai the Jezraelite, and went his way.

28 And the word of the Lord came by the hand of his servant Eliu concerning Achaab, and the Lord said,

29 Hast thou seen how Achaab has been pricked before me? I will not bring on the evil in his days, but in his son's days will I bring on the evil.
