1 Kings 21:5-16

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 1foodH3899?” 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, “2Do you nowH6258 3reignH6213H4410 overH5921 IsraelH3478? AriseH6965, eatH398 breadH3899, and let your heartH3820 beH3190 joyfulH3190; I will giveH5414 you the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158.”

84So she wroteH3789 lettersH5612 in Ahab’sH256 nameH8034 and sealedH2856 them with his sealH2368, and sentH7971 the lettersH5612 to 5the 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 6worthlessH1100 menH376 oppositeH5048 him, and have them testifyH5749 against him, sayingH559, ‘7You 8cursedH1288 GodH430 and the kingH4428.’ Then takeH3318 him outH3318 and 9stoneH5619 him 10to 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 11proclaimedH7121 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 12cursedH1288 GodH430 and the kingH4428.” 13So they tookH3318 him outsideH4480H2351 the cityH5892 and stonedH5619 him 14to deathH4191 with stonesH68. 14Then they sentH7971 word to JezebelH348, sayingH559, “NabothH5022 has been stonedH5619 and is deadH4191.”

15And when 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 gotH6965 upH6965 to goH3381 downH3381 to the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158, to takeH3423 possessionH3423 of it.
