Homilist 1 Kings 21:27 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth on his flesh, and fasted… In the context we have three subjects worthy of attention. 1. A fiendishly greedy soul, 2. A truly heroic soul. 3. A morally alarmed soul. In this incident we discover three things. I. THE WORTHLESSNESS OF A PARTIAL REFORMATION. II. THE MIGHTY FORCE OF DIVINE TRUTH. III. THE SELF-FRUSTRATING POWER OF SIN. (Homilist.) Parallel Verses KJV: And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly. |
