Not that I'm defending him, but you can see why Ahab wasn't that keen on Elijah, can't you?

God extended His mercy, maybe testing Ahab's repentance.
28 Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite: 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.”
