1
Now it came
about after
these
things
that Naboth
the Jezreelite
had
a vineyard
which
was in Jezreel
beside
the palace
of Ahab
king
of Samaria.
2
Ahab
spoke
to Naboth,
saying,
"Give
me your
vineyard
,
that I may have
it for a vegetable
garden
because
it is close
beside
my house,
and
I will give
you a better
vineyard
than
it in its place;
if
you like,
I will give
you the price
of it in money."
3
But Naboth
said
to Ahab,
"The LORD
forbid
me that I should give
you the inheritance
of my fathers."
4
So Ahab
came
into his house
sullen
and vexed
because
of the word
which
Naboth
the Jezreelite
had spoken
to him; for he said,
"I will
no
t give
you the inheritance
of my fathers."
And he lay down
on his bed
and turned away
his face
and ate
no
food.
5
But Jezebel
his wife
came
to him and said
to him, "How
is it that your spirit
is so sullen
that you are not eating
food?"
6
So he said
to her, "Because
I spoke
to Naboth
the Jezreelite
and said
to him, 'Give
me your vineyard
f
or
money;
or
else, if
it pleases
you, I will give
you a vineyard
in its place.'
But he said,
'I will not give
you my vineyard.'"
7
Jezebel
his wife
said
to him, "Do you now
reign
over
Israel?
Arise,
eat
bread,
and let your heart
be joyful;
I will give
you the vineyard
of Naboth
the Jezreelite."
8
So she wrote
letters
in Ahab's
name
and sealed
them with his seal,
and sent
letters
to the elders
and to the nobles
who
were living
with Naboth
in his city.
9
Now she wrote
in the letters,
saying,
"Proclaim
a fast
and seat
Naboth
at the head
of the people;
10
and seat
two
worthless
men
before
him, and let them testify
against him, saying,
'
You cursed
God
and the king.'
Then take
him out and stone
him to death."
11
So the men
of his city,
the elders
and the nobles
who
lived
in his city,
did
as Jezebel
had sent
word to them, just
as it was written
in the letters
which
she
had sent
them.
12
They proclaimed
a fast
and seated
Naboth
at the head
of the people.
13
Then the two
worthless
men
came
in and sat
before
him; and the
worthless
men
testified
against him, even against Naboth,
before
the people,
saying,
"Naboth
cursed
God
and the king."
So they took
him outside
the city
and stoned
him to death
with stones.
14
Then they sent
word to Jezebel,
saying,
"Naboth
has been stoned
and is dead."
15
When
Jezebel
heard
that Naboth
had been stoned
and was dead,
Jezebel
said
to Ahab,
"Arise,
take possession
of the vineyard
of Naboth,
the Jezreelite,
which
he refused
to give
you for money;
for Naboth
is not alive,
but dead."
16
When
Ahab
heard
that Naboth
was dead,
Ahab
arose
to go down
to the vineyard
of Naboth
the Jezreelite,
to take possession
of it.
17
Then the word
of the LORD
came
to Elijah
the Tishbite,
saying,
18
"Arise,
go
down
to meet
Ahab
king
of Israel,
who
is in Samaria;
behold,
he is in the vineyard
of Naboth
where
he has
go
ne
down
to take possession
of it.
19
"You shall speak
to him, saying,
'Thus
says
the LORD,
"Have you murdered
and also
taken possession?"'
And you shall speak
to him, saying,
'Thus
says
the LORD,
"In the place
where
the dogs
licked
up the blood
of Naboth
the dogs
will lick
up your blood,
even
yours."'"
20
Ahab
said
to Elijah,
"Have you found
me, O my enemy?"
And he answered,
"I have found
you, because
you have sold
yourself to do
evil
in the sight
of the LORD.
21
"Behold,
I will bring
evil
upon you, and will utterly sweep you away,
and will cut off
from Ahab
every male,
both bond
and free
in Israel;
22
and I will make
your house
like the house
of Jeroboam
the son
of Nebat,
and
like the house
of Baasha
the son
of Ahijah,
because
of the provocation
with which
you have provoked Me to anger,
and
because
you have made Israel
sin.
23
"Of
Jezebel
also
has the LORD
spoken,
saying,
'
The dogs
will eat
Jezebel
in the district
of Jezreel.'
24
"The one belonging to Ahab,
who dies
in the city,
the dogs
will eat,
and the one
who dies
in the field
the birds
of heaven
will eat."
25
Surely
there was no
one like Ahab
who
sold
himself to do
evil
in the sight
of the LORD,
because
Jezebel
his wife
incited
him.
26
He acted
very
abominably
in following
idols,
according to all
that the Amorites
had done,
whom
the LORD
cast
out before
the sons
of Israel.
27
It came
about when Ahab
heard
these
words,
that he tore
his clothes
and put
on sackcloth
and fasted,
and he lay
in sackcloth
and went
about despondently.
28
Then the word
of the LORD
came
to Elijah
the Tishbite,
saying,
29
"Do you see
how
Ahab
has humbled
himself before
Me? Because
he
has humbled
himself before
Me, I will not bring
the evil
in his days,
but I will bring
the evil
upon his house
in his son's
days."
