Then the wordof the LORDcameto Elijahthe Tishbite,saying,
It cameabout when Ahabheardthesewords,that he torehis clothesand puton sackclothand fasted,and he layin sackclothand wentabout despondently.
"Do you seehowAhabhas humbledhimself beforeMe? Becausehe has humbledhimself beforeMe, I will not bringthe evilin his days,[but] I will bringthe evilupon his housein his son'sdays."
When the LORDsawthat they humbledthemselves, the wordof the LORDcameto Shemaiah,saying,"They have humbledthemselves [so] I will not destroythem, but I will grantthem some[measure] of deliverance,and My wrathshall not be pouredout on Jerusalemby meansof Shishak.
