1 Kings 21:7-19

7But his wifeH802H859 JezebelH348 saidH559 to himH413, “Do you notH6258 reignH6213H4410 overH5921 IsraelH3478? Get upH6965, eatH398 some foodH3899, and be cheerfulH3190H3820, for IH589 will getH5414 you the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158.”

8Then Jezebel wroteH3789 lettersH5612 in Ahab’sH256 nameH8034, sealed themH2368 with his sealH2856, and sentH7971 them toH413 the eldersH2205H413 and noblesH2715 whoH834 livedH3427 withH854 NabothH5022 in his cityH5892. 9In the lettersH5612H559 she wroteH3789:

“ProclaimH7121 a fastH6685 and giveH3427 NabothH5022 a seat of honorH7218 among the peopleH5971. 10But seatH3427 twoH8147H582H1121 scoundrelsH1100 opposite himH5048 and have them testifyH5749H559, ‘You have cursedH1288 both GodH430 and the kingH4428!’ Then take him outH3318 and stone himH5619 to deathH4191.”

11

So the eldersH2205 and noblesH2715 whoH834 livedH3427 in Naboth’s cityH5892 didH6213 asH834 JezebelH348 had instructedH7971 in the lettersH5612 she had writtenH7971 to themH413. 12They proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685 and gaveH3427 NabothH5022 a seat of honorH7218 among the peopleH5971.

13And the twoH8147 scoundrelsH1100H582H1121 came inH935 and satH3427 oppositeH5048 Naboth, andH1100 these men testifiedH5749 againstH5022 him beforeH5048 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, “NabothH5022 has cursedH1288 both GodH430 and the kingH4428!”

So they took himH3318 outsideH2351 the cityH5892 and stoned himH5619 to deathH4191. 14Then they sentH7971 word toH413 JezebelH348H559: “NabothH5022 has been stonedH5619 to deathH4191.”

15

When JezebelH348 heardH8085 thatH3588 NabothH5022 had been stonedH5619 to deathH4191, she saidH559 toH413 AhabH256, “Get upH6965 and take possession ofH3423 the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158, whoH834 refusedH3985 to give itH5414 to you for silverH3701. ForH3588 NabothH5022 is no longerH369 aliveH2416, butH3588 deadH4191.”

16AndH1961 when AhabH256 heardH8085 thatH3588 NabothH5022 was deadH4191, heH256 got upH6965 and wentH3381 downH413 to take possessionH3423 of the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158.

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”
