1 Kings 21:17-27

17Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to ElijahH452 the TishbiteH8664, sayingH559, 18“AriseH6965, goH3381 downH3381 to meetH7122 AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, 1whoH834 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, “2Have you murderedH7523 and alsoH1571 takenH3423 possessionH3423?”’ And you shall speakH1696 to him, sayingH559, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “3In the placeH4725 whereH834 the dogsH3611 lickedH3952 up the bloodH1818 of NabothH5022 the dogsH3611 will lickH3952 up your bloodH1818, evenH1571 yoursH859.”’”

20AhabH256 saidH559 to ElijahH452, “4Have you foundH4672 me, O my enemyH340?” And he 5answeredH559, “I have foundH4672 you, 6becauseH3282 you have soldH4376 yourself to doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068. 21BeholdH2009, I will bringH935 evilH7463 upon you, and 7will utterlyH1197 sweepH1197 you awayH1197, and will cutH3772 offH3772 from AhabH256 everyH8366 maleH8366H7023, both bondH6113 and freeH5800 in IsraelH3478; 22and 8I will makeH5414 your houseH1004 9like 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 10have made IsraelH3478 sinH2398. 23Of JezebelH348 alsoH1571 has the LordH3068 spokenH1696, sayingH559, ‘11The dogsH3611 will eatH398 JezebelH348 in the 12districtH2426 of JezreelH3157.’ 2413The 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.”

2514SurelyH7534 there was noH3808 one like AhabH256 whoH834 soldH4376 himself to doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, 15becauseH834 JezebelH348 his wifeH802 incitedH5496 him. 2616He actedH8581 veryH3966 abominablyH8581 in followingH1980H310 idolsH1544, 17according to allH3605 that the AmoritesH567 had doneH6213, whomH834 the LordH3068 castH3423 out beforeH4480H6440 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.

27It cameH1961 about when AhabH256 heardH8085 theseH428 wordsH1697, that 18he toreH7167 his clothesH899 and putH7760 19on sackclothH8242 and fastedH6684, and he layH7901 in sackclothH8242 and wentH1980 about 20despondentlyH328.
