1 Kings 21:17-27

17Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 toH413 ElijahH452 the TishbiteH8664, sayingH559, 18“Get upH6965 and go downH3381 to meetH7122 AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, whoH834 is in SamariaH8111. SeeH2009, he is in the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022, whereH834 he has goneH3381H8033 to take possession of itH3423.

19TellH1696 himH413 that this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559: ‘Have you not murderedH7523 a man andH1571 seized his landH3423?’

Then tell himH1696H413H559 that this is also whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559: ‘In the placeH4725 whereH834 the dogsH3611 licked upH3952 the bloodH1818 of NabothH5022, there also the dogsH3611 will lick upH3952 your bloodH1818—yesH1571, yoursH859!’1”

20When ElijahH452 arrived, AhabH256 saidH559 to himH413, “So you have found me outH4672, my enemyH341.”

He repliedH559, “I have found you outH4672 becauseH3282 you have sold yourselfH4376 to doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068. 21This is what the LORD says:2

23And the LORDH3068H559 alsoH1571 speaksH1696 concerning JezebelH348:

25(SurelyH7535 there wasH1961 neverH3808 one like AhabH256, whoH834 sold himselfH4376 to doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, incitedH834H5496 by his wifeH802 JezebelH348. 26He committed the mostH3966 detestable actsH8581 by goingH1980 afterH310 idolsH1544, just likeH3605 the AmoritesH567 whomH834 the LORDH3068 had driven outH3423 beforeH6440 the IsraelitesH1121H3478.)

When AhabH256 heardH8085 theseH428 wordsH1697, he toreH7167 his clothesH899, putH7760 on sackclothH8242, and fastedH6684. He lay downH7901 in sackclothH8242 and walked aroundH1980 meeklyH328.
