And it
came
to pass after
these
things
,
that
Naboth
the Jezreelite
had
a vineyard
,
which
was
in Jezreel
,
hard by
the palace
of Ahab
king
of Samaria
.
2
And Ahab
spake
unto
Naboth
,
saying
,
Give
me thy
vineyard
,
that I
may have
it for a garden
of herbs
,
because
it
is
near
unto
my house
:
and
I will give
thee for it a better
vineyard
than
it;
or
,
if
it seem good to thee,
I will give
thee the worth
of it in money
.
3
And Naboth
said
to Ahab
,
The LORD
forbid
it me, that I should give
the inheritance
of my fathers
unto thee.
4
And Ahab
came
into his house
heavy
and displeased
because
of the word
which
Naboth
the Jezreelite
had spoken
to him: for he had said,
I will
no
t give
thee the inheritance
of my fathers
.
And he laid him down
upon his bed
,
and turned away
his face
,
and would eat
no
bread
.
5
But Jezebel
his wife
came
to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit
so sad
,
that thou eatest
no
bread
?
6
And he said
unto her,
Because
I spake
unto Naboth
the Jezreelite
,
and said
unto him, Give
me thy vineyard
f
or
money
;
or
else,
if
it please thee, I will give
thee
another
vineyard
f
or
it: and he answered,
I will not give
thee my vineyard
.
7
And Jezebel
his wife
said
unto him, Dost thou
now
govern the kingdom of
Israel
? arise,
and
eat
bread
,
and let thine heart
be merry
:
I will give
thee the vineyard
of Naboth
the Jezreelite
.
8
So she wrote
letters
in Ahab's
name
,
and sealed
them
with his seal
,
and sent
the
letters
unto the elders
and to the nobles
that
were
in his city
,
dwelling
with Naboth
.
9
And she wrote
in the letters
,
saying
,
Proclaim
a fast
,
and set
Naboth
on high
among the people
:
10
And set
two
men, sons
of Belial
,
before
him, to bear witness against him, saying,
Thou didst blaspheme
God
and the king
.
And
then
carry him out
,
and stone
him, that he may die.
11
And
the men
of his city
,
even
the elders
and the nobles
who
were the inhabitants
in his city
,
did
as Jezebel
had sent
unto them,
and
as it
was
written
in the letters
which
she
had sent
unto them.
12
They proclaimed
a fast
,
and set
Naboth
on high
among the people
.
13
And there came
in two
men
, children
of Belial
,
and sat
before
him: and the
men
of Belial
witnessed
against him,
even
against
Naboth
,
in the presence of the people
,
saying
,
Naboth
did blaspheme
God
and the king
.
Then they carried him forth
out
of the city
,
and stoned
him with stones
,
that he died
.
14
Then they sent
to Jezebel
,
saying
,
Naboth
is stoned
,
and is dead
.
15
And it came to pass, when Jezebel
heard
that Naboth
was stoned
,
and was dead
,
that Jezebel
said
to Ahab
,
Arise
,
take possession
of the vineyard
of Naboth
the Jezreelite
,
which
he refused
to give
thee for money
:
for Naboth
is not alive
,
but dead
.
16
And it came to pass, when Ahab
heard
that Naboth
was dead
,
that Ahab
rose up
to go down
to the vineyard
of Naboth
the Jezreelite
,
to take possession
of it.
17
And the word
of the LORD
came
to Elijah
the Tishbite
,
saying
,
18
Arise
,
go down
to meet
Ahab
king
of Israel
,
which
is
in Samaria
:
behold
,
he is
in the vineyard
of Naboth
,
whither he is gone down
to possess
it.
19
And thou shalt speak
unto him, saying,
Thus
saith
the LORD
,
Hast thou killed
,
and also
taken possession
?
And thou shalt speak
unto him, saying,
Thus
saith
the LORD
,
In the place
where
dogs
lick
ed
the blood
of Naboth
shall dogs
lick
thy blood
,
even
thine.
20
And Ahab
said
to Elijah
,
Hast thou found
me, O mine enemy? And he answered,
I have found
thee
:
because
thou hast sold
thyself to work
evil
in the sight
of the LORD
.
21
Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity,
and will cut off
from Ahab
him that pisseth
against the wall,
and him that is shut up
and left
in Israel
,
22
And will make
thine house
like the house
of Jeroboam
the son
of Nebat
,
and
like the house
of Baasha
the son
of Ahijah
,
for the provocation
wherewith thou hast provoked
me
to anger
,
and made Israel
to sin
.
23
And of
Jezebel
also
spake
the LORD
,
saying
,
The dogs
shall eat
Jezebel
by the wall
of Jezreel
.
24
Him that dieth
of Ahab
in the city
the dogs
shall
eat
;
and him that dieth
in the field
shall the fowls
of the air
eat
.
25
But there was none like unto Ahab
,
which did sell
himself to work
wickedness
in the sight
of the LORD
,
whom Jezebel
his wife
stirred up
.
26
And he did very
abominably
in following
idols
,
according
to all
things
as did
the Amorites
,
whom
the LORD
cast out
before
the children
of Israel
.
27
And it
came
to pass, when Ahab
heard
those words
,
that he rent
his clothes
,
and put
sackcloth
upon his flesh,
and fasted
,
and lay
in
sackcloth
,
and went
softly
.
28
And the word
of the LORD
came
to Elijah
the Tishbite
,
saying
,
29
Seest
thou
how
Ahab
humbleth
himself before
me? because
he
humbleth
himself before me, I will not bring the evil
in his
days
:
but
in his son's
days
will I bring the evil
upon his house
.
