29 “Have you noticed how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Because he has humbled himself, I will not bring this disaster in his day, but I will bring it on his house in the days of his son.”
So I don't have a great take today. This last line actually confuses me. At first my thought was God's grace covers us when we humble ourselves before him even if we have done rotten things in the past. But in this case it looks like God give Ahab a pass but in the generation after he is gone things will fall apart for his son and the kingdom he leaves behind.
looking forward to your take on this chapter.

Don't take this as a rash generalization.....but this is a lot like the Adam and Eve debocle. The woman makes a decision, and acts as the man not present. That non-presence winds up really hurting! Everyone is cursed for the actions of Jezebel. She had her eyes on her husband, and not on the Lord.
