1 Kings 21:10-24

10and seatH3427 twoH8147 1worthlessH1100 menH376 beforeH5048 him, and let them testifyH5749 against him, sayingH559, ‘2You cursedH1288 GodH430 and the kingH4428.’ Then takeH3318 him out and 3stoneH5619 him 4to deathH4191.”

11So the menH376 of his cityH5892, the eldersH2205 and the noblesH2715 whoH834 livedH3427 in his cityH5892, didH6213 as JezebelH348 had sentH7971 word to them, justH3512 as it was writtenH3789 in the lettersH5612 whichH834 she had sentH7971 them. 12They 5proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685 and seatedH3427 NabothH5022 at the headH7218 of the peopleH5971. 13Then the twoH8147 worthlessH1100 menH376 cameH935 in and satH3427 beforeH5048 him; and the worthlessH1100 menH376 testifiedH5749 against him, even against NabothH5022, beforeH5048 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, “NabothH5022 cursedH1288 GodH430 and the kingH4428.” 6So they tookH3318 him outsideH4480H2351 the cityH5892 and stonedH5619 him 7to deathH4191 with stonesH68. 14Then they sentH7971 word to JezebelH348, sayingH559, “NabothH5022 has been stonedH5619 and is deadH4191.”

15When JezebelH348 heardH8085 that NabothH5022 had been stonedH5619 and was deadH4191, JezebelH348 saidH559 to AhabH256, “AriseH6965, takeH3423 possessionH3423 of the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022, the JezreeliteH3158, whichH834 he refusedH3985 to giveH5414 you for moneyH3701; for NabothH5022 is not aliveH2416, but deadH4191.” 16When AhabH256 heardH8085 that NabothH5022 was deadH4191, AhabH256 aroseH6965 to goH3381 downH3381 to the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158, to takeH3423 possessionH3423 of it.

17Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to ElijahH452 the TishbiteH8664, sayingH559, 18“AriseH6965, goH3381 downH3381 to meetH7122 AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, 8whoH834 is in SamariaH8111; beholdH2009, he is in the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022 whereH834H8033 he has goneH3381 downH3381 to takeH3423 possessionH3423 of it. 19You shall speakH1696 to him, sayingH559, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “9Have you murderedH7523 and alsoH1571 takenH3423 possessionH3423?”’ And you shall speakH1696 to him, sayingH559, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “10In the placeH4725 whereH834 the dogsH3611 lickedH3952 up the bloodH1818 of NabothH5022 the dogsH3611 will lickH3952 up your bloodH1818, evenH1571 yoursH859.”’”

20AhabH256 saidH559 to ElijahH452, “11Have you foundH4672 me, O my enemyH340?” And he 12answeredH559, “I have foundH4672 you, 13becauseH3282 you have soldH4376 yourself to doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068. 21BeholdH2009, I will bringH935 evilH7463 upon you, and 14will utterlyH1197 sweepH1197 you awayH1197, and will cutH3772 offH3772 from AhabH256 everyH8366 maleH8366H7023, both bondH6113 and freeH5800 in IsraelH3478; 22and 15I will makeH5414 your houseH1004 16like the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, and like the houseH1004 of BaashaH1201 the sonH1121 of AhijahH281, becauseH413 of the provocationH3708 with whichH834 you have provokedH3707 Me to angerH3707, and because you 17have made IsraelH3478 sinH2398. 23Of JezebelH348 alsoH1571 has the LordH3068 spokenH1696, sayingH559, ‘18The dogsH3611 will eatH398 JezebelH348 in the 19districtH2426 of JezreelH3157.’ 2420The one belonging to AhabH256, who diesH4191 in the cityH5892, the dogsH3611 will eatH398, and the one who diesH4191 in the fieldH7704 the birdsH5775 of heavenH8064 will eatH398.”
