1 # And it came to pass after <0310> these things <01697>, that Naboth <05022> the Jezreelite <03158> had a vineyard <03754>, which was in Jezreel <03157>, hard by <0681> the palace <01964> of Ahab <0256> king <04428> of Samaria <08111>.
2 And Ahab <0256> spake <01696> (8762) unto Naboth <05022>, saying <0559> (8800), Give <05414> (8798) me thy vineyard <03754>, that I may have it for a garden <01588> of herbs <03419>, because it is near <07138> unto <0681> my house <01004>: and I will give <05414> (8799) thee for it a better <02896> vineyard <03754> than it; or, if it seem good <02896> to thee <05869>, I will give <05414> (8799) thee the worth <04242> of it in money <03701>.
3 And Naboth <05022> said <0559> (8799) to Ahab <0256>, The LORD <03068> forbid <02486> it me, that I should give <05414> (8800) the inheritance <05159> of my fathers <01> unto thee.
4 And Ahab <0256> came <0935> (8799) into his house <01004> heavy <05620> and displeased <02198> because of the word <01697> which Naboth <05022> the Jezreelite <03158> had spoken <01696> (8765) to him: for he had said <0559> (8799), I will not give <05414> (8799) thee the inheritance <05159> of my fathers <01>. And he laid him down <07901> (8799) upon his bed <04296>, and turned away <05437> (8686) his face <06440>, and would eat <0398> (8804) no bread <03899> .
5 # But Jezebel <0348> his wife <0802> came <0935> (8799) to him, and said <01696> (8762) unto him, Why is thy spirit <07307> so sad <05620>, that thou eatest <0398> (8802) no bread <03899>?
6 And he said <01696> (8762) unto her, Because I spake <01696> (8762) unto Naboth <05022> the Jezreelite <03158>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, Give <05414> (8798) me thy vineyard <03754> for money <03701>; or else, if it please <02655> thee, I will give <05414> (8799) thee another vineyard <03754> for it: and he answered <0559> (8799), I will not give <05414> (8799) thee my vineyard <03754>.
7 And Jezebel <0348> his wife <0802> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Dost thou now govern <06213> (8799) the kingdom <04410> of Israel <03478>? arise <06965> (8798), and eat <0398> (8798) bread <03899>, and let thine heart <03820> be merry <03190> (8799): I will give <05414> (8799) thee the vineyard <03754> of Naboth <05022> the Jezreelite <03158>.
8 So she wrote <03789> (8799) letters <05612> in Ahab's <0256> name <08034>, and sealed <02856> (8799) them with his seal <02368>, and sent <07971> (8799) the letters <05612> unto the elders <02205> and to the nobles <02715> that were in his city <05892>, dwelling <03427> (8802) with Naboth <05022>.
9 And she wrote <03789> (8799) in the letters <05612>, saying <0559> (8800), Proclaim <07121> (8798) a fast <06685>, and set <03427> (8685) Naboth <05022> on high <07218> among the people <05971>:
10 And set <03427> (8685) two <08147> men <0582>, sons <01121> of Belial <01100>, before him, to bear witness <05749> (8686) against him, saying <0559> (8800), Thou didst blaspheme <01288> (8765) God <0430> and the king <04428>. And then carry him out <03318> (8689), and stone <05619> (8798) him, that he may die <04191> (8799) .
11 And the men <0582> of his city <05892>, even the elders <02205> and the nobles <02715> who were the inhabitants <03427> (8802) in his city <05892>, did <06213> (8799) as Jezebel <0348> had sent <07971> (8804) unto them, and as it was written <03789> (8803) in the letters <05612> which she had sent <07971> (8804) unto them.
12 They proclaimed <07121> (8804) a fast <06685>, and set <03427> (8689) Naboth <05022> on high <07218> among the people <05971>.
13 And there came <0935> (8799) in two <08147> men <0582>, children <01121> of Belial <01100>, and sat <03427> (8799) before him: and the men <0582> of Belial <01100> witnessed <05749> (8686) against him, even against Naboth <05022>, in the presence of the people <05971>, saying <0559> (8800), Naboth <05022> did blaspheme <01288> (8765) God <0430> and the king <04428>. Then they carried him forth <03318> (8686) out <02351> of the city <05892>, and stoned <05619> (8799) him with stones <068>, that he died <04191> (8799).
14 Then they sent <07971> (8799) to Jezebel <0348>, saying <0559> (8800), Naboth <05022> is stoned <05619> (8795), and is dead <04191> (8799).
15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel <0348> heard <08085> (8800) that Naboth <05022> was stoned <05619> (8795) , and was dead <04191> (8799), that Jezebel <0348> said <0559> (8799) to Ahab <0256>, Arise <06965> (8798), take possession <03423> (8798) of the vineyard <03754> of Naboth <05022> the Jezreelite <03158>, which he refused <03985> (8765) to give <05414> (8800) thee for money <03701>: for Naboth <05022> is not alive <02416>, but dead <04191> (8804).
16 And it came to pass, when Ahab <0256> heard <08085> (8800) that Naboth <05022> was dead <04191> (8804) , that Ahab <0256> rose up <06965> (8799) to go down <03381> (8800) to the vineyard <03754> of Naboth <05022> the Jezreelite <03158>, to take possession <03423> (8800) of it.
17 # And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came to Elijah <0452> the Tishbite <08664>, saying <0559> (8800),
18 Arise <06965> (8798), go down <03381> (8798) to meet <07125> (8800) Ahab <0256> king <04428> of Israel <03478>, which is in Samaria <08111>: behold, he is in the vineyard <03754> of Naboth <05022>, whither he is gone down <03381> (8804) to possess <03423> (8800) it.
19 And thou shalt speak <01696> (8765) unto him, saying <0559> (8800), Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, Hast thou killed <07523> (8804), and also taken possession <03423> (8804)? And thou shalt speak <01696> (8765) unto him, saying <0559> (8800), Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, In the place <04725> where dogs <03611> licked <03952> (8804) the blood <01818> of Naboth <05022> shall dogs <03611> lick <03952> (8799) thy blood <01818>, even thine.
20 And Ahab <0256> said <0559> (8799) to Elijah <0452>, Hast thou found <04672> (8804) me, O mine enemy <0341> (8802)? And he answered <0559> (8799), I have found <04672> (8804) thee: because thou hast sold <04376> (8692) thyself to work <06213> (8800) evil <07451> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>.
21 Behold, I will bring <0935> (8688) evil <07451> upon thee, and will take away <01197> (8765) thy posterity <0310>, and will cut off <03772> (8689) from Ahab <0256> him that pisseth <08366> (8688) against the wall <07023>, and him that is shut up <06113> (8803) and left <05800> (8803) in Israel <03478>,
22 And will make <05414> (8804) thine house <01004> like the house <01004> of Jeroboam <03379> the son <01121> of Nebat <05028>, and like the house <01004> of Baasha <01201> the son <01121> of Ahijah <0281>, for the provocation <03708> wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger <03707> (8689), and made Israel <03478> to sin <02398> (8686).
23 And of Jezebel <0348> also spake <01696> (8765) the LORD <03068>, saying <0559> (8800), The dogs <03611> shall eat <0398> (8799) Jezebel <0348> by the wall <02426> of Jezreel <03157>.
24 Him that dieth <04191> (8801) of Ahab <0256> in the city <05892> the dogs <03611> shall eat <0398> (8799); and him that dieth <04191> (8801) in the field <07704> shall the fowls <05775> of the air <08064> eat <0398> (8799).
25 But there was none like unto Ahab <0256>, which did sell <04376> (8694) himself to work <06213> (8800) wickedness <07451> in the sight <05869> of the LORD <03068>, whom Jezebel <0348> his wife <0802> stirred up <05496> (8689) .
26 And he did very <03966> abominably <08581> (8686) in following <03212> (8800) <0310> idols <01544>, according to all things as did <06213> (8804) the Amorites <0567>, whom the LORD <03068> cast out <03423> (8689) before <06440> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.
27 And it came to pass, when Ahab <0256> heard <08085> (8800) those words <01697>, that he rent <07167> (8799) his clothes <0899>, and put <07760> (8799) sackcloth <08242> upon his flesh <01320>, and fasted <06684> (8799) , and lay <07901> (8799) in sackcloth <08242>, and went <01980> (8762) softly <0328>.
28 And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came to Elijah <0452> the Tishbite <08664>, saying <0559> (8800),
29 Seest <07200> (8804) thou how Ahab <0256> humbleth <03665> (8738) himself before <06440> me? because <03282> he humbleth <03665> (8738) himself before <06440> me, I will not bring <0935> (8686) the evil <07451> in his days <03117>: but in his son's <01121> days <03117> will I bring <0935> (8686) the evil <07451> upon his house <01004>.
