1 Kings 20:23-43 [39-43] Reminds me of 2 Samuel 12, when Nathan prophesied against David for what he did to Bathsheba. ● The parables ● Both David and Ahab passed judgement on themselves. But unlike David, who confessed his sin and welcomed the Lord's judgement, Ahab sulked! Who knows whether if he had humbled himself, confessed and repented, God might have pardoned him and spared his life like He did David's?
