1 Kings 21:17-26

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. 19And you shall speakH1696 to him, sayingH559, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “2Have you murderedH7523 and alsoH1571 takenH3423 possessionH3423?”’ And you shall speakH1696 to him, sayingH559, ‘The LordH3068 saysH559 thisH3541: “3In the placeH4725 whereH834 the dogsH3611 lickedH3952 upH3952 the bloodH1818 of NabothH5022, the dogsH3611 will lickH3952 upH3952 your bloodH1818, yoursH859 asH1571 wellH1571.”’”

20Then AhabH256 saidH559 to ElijahH452, “4Have you foundH4672 me, enemyH340 of mine?” And he 5answeredH559, “I have foundH4672 you, 6becauseH3282 you have givenH4376 yourself overH4376 to doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068. 21BeholdH2009, I am bringingH935 disasterH7463 upon you, and I 7will utterlyH1197 sweepH1197 you awayH1197, and will eliminateH3772 from AhabH256 everyH8366 maleH8366H7023, both 8bondH6113 and freeH5800 in IsraelH3478; 22and 9I will makeH5414 your houseH1004 10like 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 toH3707 angerH3707, and because you 11have misledH2398 IsraelH3478 intoH2398 sinH2398. 23The LordH3068 has alsoH1571 spokenH1696 of JezebelH348, sayingH559, ‘12The dogsH3611 will eatH398 JezebelH348 in the 13territoryH2426 of JezreelH3157.’ 2414The one belonging to AhabH256, who diesH4191 in the cityH5892, the dogsH3611 will eatH398; and the one who diesH4191 in the fieldH7704, the birdsH5775 of the skyH8064 will eatH398.”

2515There certainlyH7534 was noH3808 one like AhabH256 whoH834 gaveH4376 himself overH4376 to doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, 16becauseH834 JezebelH348 his wifeH802 incitedH5496 him. 2617He also actedH8581 veryH3966 despicablyH8581 in followingH1980H310 idolsH1544, 18conforming to everythingH3605 that the AmoritesH567 had doneH6213, whomH834 the LordH3068 droveH3423 outH3423 from the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.
