1 Kings 21:25-27
New American Standard Bible 1995
25 (A)Surely there was no one like Ahab who sold himself to do evil in the sight of the Lord, [a]because Jezebel his wife incited him. 26 (B)He acted very abominably in following idols, (C)according to all that the Amorites had done, whom the Lord cast out before the sons of Israel.
27 It came about when Ahab heard these words, that (D)he tore his clothes and put [b]on sackcloth and fasted, and he lay in sackcloth and went about [c]despondently.

New International Version
25 (There was never(A) anyone like Ahab, who sold himself to do evil in the eyes of the Lord, urged on by Jezebel his wife. 26 He behaved in the vilest manner by going after idols, like the Amorites(B) the Lord drove out before Israel.)
27 When Ahab heard these words, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth(C) and fasted. He lay in sackcloth and went around meekly.(D)
