Verse 26 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.

Il a agi de la manière la plus abominable, en allant après les idoles, comme le faisaient les Amoréens, que l'Eternel chassa devant les enfants d'Israël.
Laonde egli fece cose molto abbominevoli, andando dietro agl’idoli, interamente come aveano fatto gli Amorrei, i quali il Signore avea scacciati d’innanzi a’ figliuoli d’Israele.
E fez grandes abominações, seguindo os ídolos, conforme a tudo o que fizeram os amorreus, os quais o SENHOR lançou fora da sua possessão, de diante dos filhos de Israel.
他行了最可憎的事,隨從偶像,正如耶和華在 以色列 人面前趕出的 亞摩利 人所行的一切。)
