1KI-21:1 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.
1KI-21:2 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.
1KI-21:3 And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I
should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
1KI-21:4 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 not 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.
1KI-21:5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him,
Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?
1KI-21:6 And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the
Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money;
or else, if it please thee, I will give thee [another] vineyard
for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.
1KI-21:7 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.
1KI-21:8 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.
1KI-21:9 And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast,
and set Naboth on high among the people:
1KI-21:10 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.
1KI-21:11 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.
1KI-21:12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among
the people.
1KI-21:13 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.
1KI-21:14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned,
and is dead.
1KI-21:15 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.
1KI-21:16 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.
1KI-21:17 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite,
saying,
1KI-21:18 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.
1KI-21:19 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 licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood,
even thine.
1KI-21:20 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.
1KI-21:21 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,
1KI-21:22 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.
1KI-21:23 And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs
shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
1KI-21:24 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.
1KI-21:25 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.
1KI-21:26 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.
1KI-21:27 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.
1KI-21:28 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite,
saying,
1KI-21:29 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.
