The account reads: “As soon as Ahab heard these words, he ripped his garments apart and put sackcloth on his body; and he went on a fast and kept lying down in sackcloth and walking despondently. ”
Kisahnya berbunyi, ” Segera setelah Ahab mendengar perkataan ini, ia mengoyak pakaiannya dan mengenakan kain goni pada tubuhnya; dan ia berpuasa dan terus berbaring dengan mengenakan kain goni dan berjalan dengan putus harapan. ”
