19 Tell him that this is what the LORD {YHWH} says: ‘Have you not murdered a man and seized his land?’ Then tell him that this is also what the LORD says: ‘In the place where the dogs licked up the blood of Naboth (fruits), there also the dogs will lick up your blood—yes, yours <1Ki 22:38>!’ 20 When Elijah arrived (my God is YHWH), Ahab (father's brother) said to him, “So you have found me out, my enemy.” He replied, “I have found you out because you have sold yourself to do evil in the sight of the LORD {YHWH}. 21 This is what the LORD says [Behold]: ‘I will bring calamity on you and consume your descendants; I will cut off from Ahab (father's brother) every male in Israel (he wrestles with God), both slave and free. 22 I will make your house like that of Jeroboam (the people will contend) son of Nebat (aspect) and like that of Baasha (wicked) son of Ahijah (brother of Yah), because you have provoked My anger and caused Israel (he wrestles with God) to sin.’ 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.” 1 Kings 21:19-29, Berean Annotated Bible.
