But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.

Verse 25 is found in chapter 21 of 1 Kings. Elijah confronts Ahab in Naboth’s vineyard and announces judgment against him and his house. Ahab humbles himself, and God acknowledges his response by postponing part of the punishment until his son’s days. The scene does not remove the seriousness of the crime, but shows that even a guilty king can experience a measure of mercy when he humbles himself. Judgment against Ahab’s house, however, remains announced.

(Also war niemand, der sich so gar verkauft hätte, übel zu tun vor dem HERRN, wie Ahab; denn sein Weib Isebel überredete ihn also.

Nunca hubo nadie como Acab, que se vendió para hacer lo malo ante los ojos de Jehová, incitado por su esposa Jezabel.
Il n'y a eu personne qui se soit vendu comme Achab pour faire ce qui est mal aux yeux de l'Eternel, et Jézabel, sa femme, l'y excitait.
E veramente non vi era stato ancora alcuno simile ad Achab, il quale si era venduto a far ciò che dispiace al Signore; perciocchè Izebel, sua moglie, l’incitava.
Porém ninguém fora como Acabe, que se vendera para fazer o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR; porque Jezabel, sua mulher, o incitava.
