1 Kings 21:4-24

4And AhabH256 cameH935 intoH413 his houseH1004 heavy and displeased becauseH5921 of the wordH1697 whichH834 NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158 had spokenH1696 to him: for he had saidH559, I will notH3808 giveH5414 thee the inheritanceH5159 of my fathersH1. And he laidH7901 him downH7901 uponH5921 his bedH4296, and turnedH5437 awayH5437 his faceH6440, and would eatH398 noH3808 breadH3899.

5But JezebelH348 his wifeH802 cameH935 to him, and saidH1696 unto him, WhyH4100 is thy spiritH7307 soH935 sad, that thou eatest noH369 breadH3899?

6And he saidH559 unto herH413, BecauseH3588 I spake unto NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158, and saidH559 unto him, GiveH5414 meH413 thy vineyardH3754 for moneyH3701; or elseH176, ifH518 it please thee, I will giveH5414 thee anotherH3808 vineyardH3754 for it: and he answeredH559, I will notH3808 giveH5414 thee my vineyardH3754.

7And JezebelH348 his wifeH802 saidH559 unto him, Dost thou nowH6258 govern the kingdomH4410 of IsraelH3478? ariseH6965, and eatH398 breadH3899, and letH5414 thine heartH3820 be merryH3190: I will giveH5414 thee the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158.

8SoH7971 sheH834 wroteH3789 lettersH5612 in Ahab’sH256 nameH8034, and sealedH2856 them with his sealH2368, and sentH7971 the lettersH5612 unto the eldersH2205 and to the noblesH2715 that were in his cityH5892, and that dweltH3427 with NabothH5022.

9And sheH7121 wroteH3789 in the lettersH5612, sayingH559, ProclaimH7121 a fastH6685, and setH3427 NabothH5022 on high among the peopleH5971:

10and setH3427 twoH8147 menH376, sonsH1121 of Belial, beforeH5048 him, and let them bear witness againstH5048 him, sayingH559, Thou didst curseH1288 GodH430 and the kingH4428. And then carryH3318 him outH3318, and stoneH5619 him, that he dieH4191.

11And the menH376 of his cityH5892, evenH6213 the eldersH2205 and the noblesH2715 who dweltH3427 in his cityH5892, didH6213 as JezebelH348 had sentH7971 unto them, accordingH413 as it was writtenH3789 in the lettersH5612 whichH834 sheH834 had sentH7971 unto them.

12They proclaimedH7121 a fastH6685, and setH3427 NabothH5022 on high among the peopleH5971.

13And the twoH8147 menH376, sonsH1121 of Belial, cameH935 in and satH3427 beforeH5048 him: and the menH376 of Belial bare witness againstH5048 him, evenH853 againstH5048 NabothH5022, in the presenceH5048 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559, NabothH5022 didH376 curseH1288 GodH430 and the kingH4428. Then they carriedH935 him forthH3318 outH3318 of the cityH5892, and stonedH5619 him with stonesH68, that he diedH4191.

14Then they sentH7971 to JezebelH348, sayingH559, NabothH5022 is stonedH5619, and is deadH4191.

15And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when JezebelH348 heardH8085 that NabothH5022 was stonedH5619, and was deadH4191, that JezebelH348 saidH559 to AhabH256, AriseH6965, takeH3423 possessionH3423 of the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158, whichH834 he refusedH3985 to giveH5414 thee for moneyH3701: for NabothH5022 is notH369 aliveH2416, but deadH4191.

16And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when AhabH256 heardH8085 that NabothH5022 was deadH4191, that AhabH256 roseH6965 upH6965 to goH3381 downH3381 to the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158, to takeH3423 possessionH3423 of it.

17And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to ElijahH452 the Tishbite, sayingH559,

18AriseH6965, goH3381 downH3381 to meetH7125 AhabH256 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, whichH834 dwelleth in SamariaH8111: beholdH2009, he is in the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022, whither he is goneH3381 downH3381 to takeH3423 possessionH3423 of it.

19And thou shalt speakH1696 unto him, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, Hast thou killedH7523, and also takenH3423 possessionH3423? and thou shalt speakH1696 unto him, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, In the placeH4725 whereH834 dogsH3611 lickedH3952 the bloodH1818 of NabothH5022 shall dogsH3611 lickH3952 thy bloodH1818, evenH1571 thine.

20And AhabH256 saidH559 to ElijahH452, Hast thou foundH4672 meH413, O mine enemyH341? And he answeredH559, I have foundH4672 thee: becauseH3282 thou hast soldH4376 thyself to doH6213 that whichH5869 is evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068.

21BeholdH2005, I will bringH935 evilH7451 uponH935 thee, and will utterly sweep thee awayH310, and will cutH3772 offH3772 from AhabH256 everyH8366 man child, and him that is shutH6113 upH935 and him that is leftH5800 at large in IsraelH3478:

22and I will makeH5414 thine houseH1004 like the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, and like the houseH1004 of BaashaH1201 the sonH1121 of AhijahH281, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provokedH3707 meH413 to angerH3707, and hast madeH5414 IsraelH3478 to sinH2398.

23And of JezebelH348 also spake the LORDH3068, sayingH559, The dogsH3611 shall eatH398 JezebelH348 by the rampart of JezreelH3157.

24Him that dieth of AhabH256 in the cityH5892 the dogsH3611 shall eatH398; and him that dieth in the fieldH7704 shall the fowls of the air eatH398.
