This passage gives us a glimpse into the awesome grace of God. Ahab was the most wicked king in Israel’s history; there is no record of him doing anything good or righteous. His reign was marked by sin and idolatry, and now added to it was deception, murder, and theft. God, however, honored his repentance and was gracious to him. Your sin is not greater than God’s grace. He will forgive you if you will repent (Bible, Expositor and Illuminator Union Gospel Press, Summer Quarter 2021).
