1 Kings 21:4-13

41So AhabH256 enteredH935 his houseH1004 sullenH5620 and furiousH2198 becauseH5921 of the 2answerH1697 that NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158 had givenH1696 to him, since he saidH559, “I will not giveH5414 you the inheritanceH5159 of my fathersH1.” And he layH7901 downH7901 on his bedH4296 and turnedH5437 his faceH6440 awayH5437, and ateH398 noH3808 3foodH3899.

5But JezebelH348 his wifeH802 cameH935 to him and saidH1696 to him, “HowH4100 is it that your spiritH7307 is so sullenH5620 that you are not eatingH398 4foodH3899?” 6So he saidH1696 to her, “It is becauseH3588 I was speakingH1696 to NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158 and sayingH559 to him, ‘GiveH5414 me your vineyardH3754 for moneyH3701; orH176 else, ifH518 it pleasesH2655 you, I will giveH5414 you a vineyardH3754 inH8478 placeH8478 ofH8478 it.’ But he saidH559, ‘I will not giveH5414 you my vineyardH3754.’” 7JezebelH348 his wifeH802 saidH559 to him, “5Do you nowH6258 6reignH6213H4410 overH5921 IsraelH3478? AriseH6965, eatH398 breadH3899, and let your heartH3820 beH3190 joyfulH3190; I will giveH5414 you the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158.”

87So she wroteH3789 lettersH5612 in Ahab’sH256 nameH8034 and sealedH2856 them with his sealH2368, and sentH7971 the lettersH5612 to 8the eldersH2205 and to the noblesH2715 whoH834 were livingH3427 with NabothH5022 in his cityH5892. 9Now she had writtenH3789 in the lettersH5612, sayingH559, “ProclaimH7121 a fastH6685 and seatH3427 NabothH5022 at the headH7218 of the peopleH5971; 10and seatH3427 twoH8147 9worthlessH1100 menH376 oppositeH5048 him, and have them testifyH5749 against him, sayingH559, ‘10You 11cursedH1288 GodH430 and the kingH4428.’ Then takeH3318 him outH3318 and 12stoneH5619 him 13to deathH4191.”

11So the menH376 of his cityH5892, the eldersH2205 and the noblesH2715 whoH834 livedH3427 in his cityH5892, didH6213 justH3512 asH3512 JezebelH348 had sentH7971 word to them, justH3512 asH3512 it was writtenH3789 in the lettersH5612 whichH834 she had sentH7971 them. 12They 14proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685, and seatedH3427 NabothH5022 at the headH7218 of the peopleH5971. 13Then the twoH8147 worthlessH1100 menH376 cameH935 inH935 and satH3427 oppositeH5048 him; and the worthlessH1100 menH376 testifiedH5749 against him, against NabothH5022, beforeH5048 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, “NabothH5022 15cursedH1288 GodH430 and the kingH4428.” 16So they tookH3318 him outsideH4480H2351 the cityH5892 and stonedH5619 him 17to deathH4191 with stonesH68.
