1 Kings 21:17-24

17Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 18“Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, 1who is in Samaria; behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it. 19And you shall speak to him, saying, ‘This is what the Lord says: “2Have you murdered and also taken possession?”’ And you shall speak to him, saying, ‘The Lord says this: “3In the place where the dogs licked up the blood of Naboth, the dogs will lick up your blood, yours as well.”’”

20Then Ahab said to Elijah, “4Have you found me, enemy of mine?” And he 5answered, “I have found you, 6because you have given yourself over to do evil in the sight of the Lord. 21Behold, I am bringing disaster upon you, and I 7will utterly sweep you away, and will eliminate from Ahab every male, both 8bond and free in Israel; 22and 9I will make your house 10like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, because of the provocation with which you have provoked Me to anger, and because you 11have misled Israel into sin. 23The Lord has also spoken of Jezebel, saying, ‘12The dogs will eat Jezebel in the 13territory of Jezreel.’ 2414The one belonging to Ahab, who dies in the city, the dogs will eat; and the one who dies in the field, the birds of the sky will eat.”
