- he rent his clothes:
- "And it came to pass,¹ when the kingª of Israelª had readª°¹ the letter,ª that he rentª° his clothes,ª and said,ª° [Am] I¹ God,ª to killª° and to make alive,ª° that¹ this¹ man² doth sendª° unto¹ me to recoverª° a manª of his leprosy?ª¹ whereforeª¹ consider,ª° I pray you,¹ and seeª° how¹ he¹ seeketh a quarrelª° against me." {2Kg 5:7} + "And it came to pass,¹ when kingª Hezekiahª heardª° [it], that he rentª°¹ his clothes,ª and covered²° himself¹ with sackcloth,ª and wentª° into the houseª of the LORD.ª" {2Kg 19:1} + "And it came to pass,¹ when Ahabª heardª°¹ those¹ words,ª that he rentª° his clothes,ª and putª° sackclothª upon¹ his flesh,ª and fasted,ª° and layª° in sackcloth,ª and wentª° softly.ª" {1Kg 21:27} + "Is¹ it such¹ a fastª that I have chosen?ª° a dayª for a manª to afflictª° his soul?ª [is it] to bow downª° his headª as a bulrush,ª and to spreadª° sackclothª and ashesª [under him]? wilt thou callª° thisª a fast,ª and an acceptableª dayª to the LORD?ª ... [Is it] not¹ to dealª° thy breadª to the hungry,ª and that thou bringª° the poorª that are cast outª to thy house?ª when¹ thou seestª° the naked,ª that thou coverª° him; and that thou hide²° not thyself¹¹ from thine own flesh?ª¹" {Isa 58:5-7}
