1 Kings 15:25-21:29
25
f Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years.
26
He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord g and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin h which he made Israel to sin.
27
i Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him. And Baasha struck him down at j Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines, for Nadab and all Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.
28
So Baasha killed him in the third year of Asa king of Judah and reigned in his place.
29
And as soon as he was king, he killed all the house of Jeroboam. He left to the house of Jeroboam not one that breathed, until he had destroyed it, k according to the word of the Lord that he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite.
30
It was for the sins of Jeroboam that he sinned and h that he made Israel to sin, and because of the anger to which he provoked the Lord, the God of Israel.
31
Now the rest of the acts of Nadab and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
32
l And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
33
In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah began to reign over all Israel at Tirzah, and he reigned twenty-four years.
34
He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord m and walked in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin which he made Israel to sin.
1 Kings 16
1
And the word of the Lord came to n Jehu the son of o Hanani against Baasha, saying,
2
"Since I p exalted you out of the dust and made you leader over my people Israel, and q you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have made my people Israel to sin, provoking me to anger with their sins,
3
behold, I will utterly r sweep away s Baasha and his house, and I will make your house t like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
4
u Anyone belonging to Baasha who dies in the city the dogs shall eat, and anyone of his who dies in the field the birds of the heavens shall eat."
5
Now the rest of the acts of Baasha and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
6
And Baasha slept with his fathers and was buried at v Tirzah, and Elah his son reigned in his place.
7
Moreover, the word of the Lord came by the prophet n Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha and his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and also because w he destroyed it.
8
In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah, and he reigned two years.
9
But his servant x Zimri, commander of half his chariots, conspired against him. When he was at Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, y who was over the household in Tirzah,
10
Zimri came in and struck him down and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place.
11
When he began to reign, as soon as he had seated himself on his throne, he struck down z all the house of Baasha. He a did not leave him a single male of his relatives or his friends.
12
Thus Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, b according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke against Baasha by n Jehu the prophet,
13
for all the sins of Baasha and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned and which they made Israel to sin, c provoking the Lord God of Israel to anger with their idols.
14
Now the rest of the acts of Elah and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
15
In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah. Now the troops were encamped against d Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines,
16
and the troops who were encamped heard it said, "Zimri has conspired, and he has killed the king." Therefore all Israel made Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.
17
So Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
18
And when Zimri saw that the city was taken, he went into the citadel of the king's house and burned the king's house over him with fire and died,
19
because of his sins that he committed, doing evil in the sight of the Lord, e walking in the way of Jeroboam, and for his sin which he committed, making Israel to sin.
20
Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and the conspiracy that he made, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
21
Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts. Half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king, and half followed Omri.
22
But the people who followed Omri overcame the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath. So Tibni died, and Omri became king.
23
In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel, and he reigned for twelve years; six years he reigned in Tirzah.
24
He bought the hill of f Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver, and he fortified the hill and called the name of the city that he built g Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill.
25
h Omri did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, and did more evil i than all who were before him.
26
For e he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in the sins that he made Israel to sin, j provoking the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger by their idols.
27
Now the rest of the acts of Omri that he did, and the might that he showed, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
28
And Omri slept with his fathers and was buried in Samaria, and Ahab his son reigned in his place.
29
In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab the son of Omri began to reign over Israel, and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.
30
And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord, k more than all who were before him.
31
And as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, l he took for his wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the m Sidonians, n and went and served Baal and worshiped him.
32
He erected an altar for Baal in o the house of Baal, which he built in Samaria.
33
And Ahab made an p Asherah. Ahab did more to provoke the Lord, the God of Israel, to anger k than all the kings of Israel who were before him.
34
q In his days Hiel of Bethel built r Jericho. He laid its foundation at the cost of Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun.
1 Kings 17
1
Now Elijah the Tishbite, of s Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, t "As the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, u before whom I stand, v there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word."
2
And the word of the Lord came to him:
3
"Depart from here and turn eastward and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, which is east of the Jordan.
4
You shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there."
5
So he went and did according to the word of the Lord. He went and lived by the brook Cherith that is east of the Jordan.
6
And the ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.
7
And after a while the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
8
Then the word of the Lord came to him,
9
"Arise, go to w Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to feed you."
10
So he arose and went to w Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there x gathering sticks. And he called to her and said, "Bring me a little water in a vessel, that I may drink."
11
And as she was going to bring it, he called to her and said, "Bring me a morsel of bread in your hand."
12
And she said, t "As the Lord your God lives, I have nothing baked, only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. And now I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it and die."
13
And Elijah said to her, "Do not fear; go and do as you have said. But first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me, and afterward make something for yourself and your son.
14
For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, 'The jar of flour shall not be spent, and the jug of oil shall not be empty, until the day that the Lord sends rain upon the earth.'"
15
And she went and did as Elijah said. And she and he and her household ate for many days.
16
The jar of flour was not spent, neither did the jug of oil become empty, according to the word of the Lord that he spoke by Elijah.
17
After this the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became ill. And his illness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.
18
And she said to Elijah, y "What have you against me, O z man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to remembrance and to cause the death of my son!"
19
And he said to her, "Give me your son." And he took him from her arms and carried him up into the upper chamber where he lodged, and laid him on his own bed.
20
And he cried to the Lord, "O Lord my God, have you brought calamity even upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by killing her son?"
21
a Then he stretched himself upon the child three times and cried to the Lord, "O Lord my God, let this child's life come into him again."
22
And the Lord listened to the voice of Elijah. And the life of the child came into him again, and b he revived.
23
And Elijah took the child and brought him down from the upper chamber into the house and delivered him to his mother. And Elijah said, "See, your son lives."
24
And the woman said to Elijah, c "Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is truth."
1 Kings 18
1
d After many days the word of the Lord came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, "Go, show yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain upon the earth."
2
So Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. Now the famine was severe in Samaria.
3
And Ahab called Obadiah, who was e over the household. (Now Obadiah feared the Lord greatly,
4
and f when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the Lord, Obadiah took a hundred prophets and hid them by fifties in a cave and fed them with bread and water.)
5
And Ahab said to Obadiah, "Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys. Perhaps we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, and not lose some of the animals."
6
So they divided the land between them to pass through it. Ahab went in one direction by himself, and Obadiah went in another direction by himself.
7
And as Obadiah was on the way, behold, Elijah met him. And Obadiah recognized him and fell on his face and said, "Is it you, my lord Elijah?"
8
And he answered him, "It is I. Go, tell your lord, 'Behold, Elijah is here.'"
9
And he said, "How have I sinned, that you would give your servant into the hand of Ahab, to kill me?
10
g As the Lord your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my lord has not sent to seek you. And when they would say, 'He is not here,' he would take an oath of the kingdom or nation, that they had not found you.
11
And now you say, 'Go, tell your lord, "Behold, Elijah is here."'
12
And as soon as I have gone from you, h the Spirit of the Lord will carry you I know not where. And so, when I come and tell Ahab and he cannot find you, he will kill me, although I your servant have feared the Lord from my youth.
13
Has it not been told my lord what I did i when Jezebel killed the prophets of the Lord, how I hid a hundred men of the Lord's prophets by fifties in a cave and fed them with bread and water?
14
And now you say, 'Go, tell your lord, "Behold, Elijah is here"'; and he will kill me."
15
And Elijah said, g "As the Lord of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself to him today."
16
So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him. And Ahab went to meet Elijah.
17
When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, j "Is it you, you k troubler of Israel?"
18
And he answered, "I have not troubled Israel, but you have, and your father's house, because you have l abandoned the commandments of the Lord and m followed the Baals.
19
Now therefore send and gather all Israel to me at Mount n Carmel, and the o 450 prophets of Baal and p the 400 prophets of Asherah, q who eat at Jezebel's table."
20
So Ahab sent to all the people of Israel and gathered the prophets together at Mount Carmel.
21
And Elijah came near to all the people and said, "How long r will you go limping between two different opinions? s If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him." And the people did not answer him a word.
22
Then Elijah said to the people, t "I, even I only, am left a prophet of the Lord, but Baal's prophets are u 450 men.
23
Let two bulls be given to us, and let them choose one bull for themselves and cut it in pieces and lay it on the wood, but put no fire to it. And I will prepare the other bull and lay it on the wood and put no fire to it.
24
And you call upon the name of your god, and I will call upon the name of the Lord, and the God who v answers by fire, he is God." And all the people answered, "It is well spoken."
25
Then Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, "Choose for yourselves one bull and prepare it first, for you are many, and call upon the name of your god, but put no fire to it."
26
And they took the bull that was given them, and they prepared it and called upon the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, "O Baal, answer us!" But there was no voice, and no one answered. And they limped around the altar that they had made.
27
And at noon Elijah mocked them, saying, "Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is musing, or he is relieving himself, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened."
28
And they cried aloud and w cut themselves after their custom with swords and lances, until the blood gushed out upon them.
29
And as midday passed, they raved on until the time of x the offering of the oblation, but there was no voice. No one answered; no one paid attention.
30
Then Elijah said to all the people, "Come near to me." And all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the Lord that had been y thrown down.
31
Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord came, saying, z "Israel shall be your name,"
32
and with the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord. And he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two seahs of seed.
33
a And he put the wood in order and cut the bull in pieces and laid it on the wood. And he said, "Fill four jars with water and b pour it on the burnt offering and on the wood."
34
And he said, "Do it a second time." And they did it a second time. And he said, "Do it a third time." And they did it a third time.
35
And the water ran around the altar and filled the trench also with water.
36
And at the time of c the offering of the oblation, Elijah the prophet came near and said, "O Lord, d God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that e you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that f I have done all these things at your word.
37
Answer me, O Lord, answer me, that this people may know that you, O Lord, are God, and that you have turned their hearts back."
38
g Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
39
And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and said, h "The Lord, he is God; the Lord, he is God."
40
And Elijah said to them, "Seize the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape." And they seized them. And Elijah brought them down to i the brook Kishon and j slaughtered them there.
41
And Elijah said to Ahab, "Go up, eat and drink, for there is a sound of the rushing of rain."
42
So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Mount Carmel. k And he bowed himself down on the earth and put his face between his knees.
43
And he said to his servant, "Go up now, look toward the sea." And he went up and looked and said, "There is nothing." And he said, "Go again," seven times.
44
And at the seventh time he said, "Behold, l a little cloud like a man's hand is rising from the sea." And he said, "Go up, say to Ahab, 'Prepare your chariot and go down, lest the rain stop you.'"
45
And in a little while the heavens grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode and went to m Jezreel.
46
n And the hand of the Lord was on Elijah, o and he gathered up his garment and ran before Ahab to the entrance of p Jezreel.
1 Kings 19
1
Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how q he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
2
Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, r "So may the gods do to me and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by this time tomorrow."
3
Then he was afraid, and he arose and ran for his life and came to s Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.
4
But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a broom tree. t And he asked that he might die, saying, "It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better than my fathers."
5
And he lay down and slept under a broom tree. And behold, an angel touched him and said to him, "Arise and eat."
6
And he looked, and behold, there was at his head a cake baked on hot stones and a jar of water. And he ate and drank and lay down again.
7
And the angel of the Lord came again a second time and touched him and said, "Arise and eat, for the journey is too great for you."
8
And he arose and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food u forty days and forty nights to v Horeb, the mount of God.
9
There he came to a cave and lodged in it. And behold, w the word of the Lord came to him, and he said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"
10
He said, "I have been very x jealous for the Lord, the God of hosts. For the people of Israel have forsaken your covenant, y thrown down your altars, and z killed your prophets with the sword, a and I, even I only, am left, and they seek my life, to take it away."
11
And he said, "Go out and b stand on the mount before the Lord." And behold, the Lord passed by, and c a great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind d an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake.
12
And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire the sound of a low whisper.
13
And when Elijah heard it, e he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. And behold, f there came a voice to him and said, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"
14
He said, x "I have been very jealous for the Lord, the God of hosts. For the people of Israel have forsaken your covenant, y thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword, and I, even I only, am left, and they seek my life, to take it away."
15
And the Lord said to him, "Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus. And when you arrive, you shall anoint Hazael to be king over Syria.
16
g And Jehu the son of Nimshi you shall anoint to be king over Israel, and h Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah you shall anoint to be prophet in your place.
17
And the one who escapes from i the sword of Hazael j shall Jehu put to death, and the one who escapes from the sword of Jehu k shall Elisha put to death.
18
l Yet I will leave seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not m kissed him."
19
So he departed from there and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen in front of him, and he was with the twelfth. Elijah passed by him and cast n his cloak upon him.
20
And he left the oxen and ran after Elijah and said, o "Let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you." And he said to him, "Go back again, for what have I done to you?"
21
And he returned from following him and took the yoke of oxen and sacrificed them and boiled their flesh p with the yokes of the oxen and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he arose and went after Elijah and assisted him.
1 Kings 20
1
q Ben-hadad the king of Syria gathered all his army together. r Thirty-two kings were with him, and horses and chariots. And he went up and closed in on s Samaria and fought against it.
2
And he sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel and said to him, "Thus says Ben-hadad:
3
'Your silver and your gold are mine; your best wives and children also are mine.'"
4
And the king of Israel answered, "As you say, my lord, O king, I am yours, and all that I have."
5
The messengers came again and said, "Thus says Ben-hadad: 'I sent to you, saying, "Deliver to me your silver and your gold, your wives and your children."
6
Nevertheless I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they shall search your house and the houses of your servants and lay hands on whatever pleases you and take it away.'"
7
Then the king of Israel called all the t elders of the land and said, u "Mark, now, and see how this man is seeking trouble, for he sent to me for my wives and my children, and for my silver and my gold, and I did not refuse him."
8
And all the elders and all the people said to him, "Do not listen or consent."
9
So he said to the messengers of Ben-hadad, "Tell my lord the king, 'All that you first demanded of your servant I will do, but this thing I cannot do.'" And the messengers departed and brought him word again.
10
Ben-hadad sent to him and said, v "The gods do so to me and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people w who follow me."
11
And the king of Israel answered, "Tell him, 'Let not him who straps on his armor boast himself as he who takes it off.'"
12
When Ben-hadad heard this message as x he was drinking with the kings in the booths, he said to his men, "Take your positions." And they took their positions against the city.
13
And behold, a prophet came near to Ahab king of Israel and said, "Thus says the Lord, Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, y I will give it into your hand this day, z and you shall know that I am the Lord."
14
And Ahab said, "By whom?" He said, "Thus says the Lord, By the servants of the governors of the districts." Then he said, "Who shall begin the battle?" He answered, "You."
15
Then he mustered the servants of the governors of the districts, and they were 232. And after them he mustered all the people of Israel, seven thousand.
16
And they went out at noon, while Ben-hadad x was drinking himself drunk in the booths, he and the thirty-two kings who helped him.
17
The servants of the governors of the districts went out first. And Ben-hadad sent out scouts, and they reported to him, "Men are coming out from Samaria."
18
He said, "If they have come out for peace, take them alive. Or if they have come out for war, take them alive."
19
So these went out of the city, the servants of the governors of the districts and the army that followed them.
20
And each struck down his man. The Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them, but Ben-hadad king of Syria escaped on a horse with horsemen.
21
And the king of Israel went out and struck the horses and chariots, and struck the Syrians with a great blow.
22
Then a the prophet came near to the king of Israel and said to him, "Come, strengthen yourself, and consider well what you have to do, for b in the spring the king of Syria will come up against you."
23
And the servants of the king of Syria said to him, "Their gods are gods of the hills, and so they were stronger than we. But let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
24
And do this: remove the kings, each from his post, and put commanders in their places,
25
and muster an army like the army that you have lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot. Then we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they." And he listened to their voice and did so.
26
b In the spring, Ben-hadad mustered the Syrians and went up to c Aphek to fight against Israel.
27
And the people of Israel were mustered and were provisioned and went against them. The people of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of goats, but the Syrians filled the country.
28
And a d man of God came near and said to the king of Israel, "Thus says the Lord, 'Because the Syrians have said, e "The Lord is a god of the hills but he is not a god of the valleys," therefore f I will give all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the Lord.'"
29
And they encamped opposite one another seven days. Then on the seventh day the battle was joined. And the people of Israel struck down of the Syrians 100,000 foot soldiers in one day.
30
And the rest fled into the city of c Aphek, and the wall fell upon 27,000 men who were left. Ben-hadad also fled and entered g an inner chamber in the city.
31
And his servants said to him, "Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Let us h put sackcloth around our waists and ropes on our heads and go out to the king of Israel. Perhaps he will spare your life."
32
So they h tied sackcloth around their waists and put ropes on their heads and went to the king of Israel and said, "Your servant Ben-hadad says, 'Please, let me live.'" And he said, "Does he still live? He is my brother."
33
Now the men were watching for a sign, and they quickly took it up from him and said, "Yes, your brother Ben-hadad." Then he said, "Go and bring him." Then Ben-hadad came out to him, and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
34
And Ben-hadad said to him, i "The cities that my father took from your father I will restore, and you may establish bazaars for yourself in j Damascus, as my father did in Samaria." And Ahab said, "I will let you go on these terms." So he made a covenant with him and let him go.
35
And a certain man of k the sons of the prophets said to his fellow l at the command of the Lord, "Strike me, please." But the man refused to strike him.
36
Then he said to him, "Because you have not obeyed the voice of the Lord, behold, as soon as you have gone from me, a lion shall strike you down." And as soon as he had departed from him, m a lion met him and struck him down.
37
Then he found another man and said, "Strike me, please." And the man struck him - struck him and wounded him.
38
So the prophet departed and waited for the king by the way, n disguising himself with a bandage over his eyes.
39
And as the king passed, he cried to the king and said, "Your servant went out into the midst of the battle, and behold, a soldier turned and brought a man to me and said, 'Guard this man; if by any means he is missing, o your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.'
40
And as your servant was busy here and there, he was gone." The king of Israel said to him, "So shall your judgment be; you yourself have decided it."
41
Then he hurried to take the bandage away from his eyes, and the king of Israel recognized him as one of the prophets.
42
And he said to him, "Thus says the Lord, 'Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore o your life shall be for his life, and your people for his people.'"
43
And the king of Israel p went to his house vexed and sullen and came to Samaria.
1 Kings 21
1
Now Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard in q Jezreel, beside the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
2
And after this Ahab said to Naboth, r "Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a vegetable garden, because it is near my house, and I will give you a better vineyard for it; or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its value in money."
3
But Naboth said to Ahab, "The Lord forbid s that I should give you the inheritance of my fathers."
4
And Ahab t went into his house vexed and sullen because of what Naboth the Jezreelite had said to him, for he had said, "I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers." And he lay down on his bed and turned away his face and would eat no food.
5
But Jezebel his wife came to him and said to him, "Why is your spirit so vexed that you eat no food?"
6
And he said to her, "Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and said to him, 'Give me your vineyard for money, or else, if it please you, I will give you another vineyard for it.' And he answered, 'I will not give you my vineyard.'"
7
And Jezebel his wife said to him, "Do you now govern Israel? Arise and eat bread and let your heart be cheerful; I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite."
8
u So she wrote letters in Ahab's name and sealed them with his seal, and she sent the letters to v the elders and the leaders who lived with Naboth in his city.
9
And she wrote in the letters, "Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth at the head of the people.
10
And set two w worthless men opposite him, and let them bring a charge against him, saying, x 'You have cursed God and the king.' Then take him out and stone him to death."
11
And the men of his city, v the elders and the leaders who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had sent word to them. As it was written in the letters that she had sent to them,
12
y they proclaimed a fast and set Naboth at the head of the people.
13
And the two worthless men came in and sat opposite him. And the worthless men brought a charge against Naboth in the presence of the people, saying, "Naboth cursed God and the king." So they took him outside the city and stoned him to death with stones.
14
Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, "Naboth has been stoned; he is dead."
15
As soon as Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, Jezebel said to Ahab, "Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money, for Naboth is not alive, but dead."
16
And as soon as Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, Ahab arose to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
17
z Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
18
"Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who is in a Samaria; behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone to take possession.
19
And you shall say to him, 'Thus says the Lord, "Have you killed and also taken possession?"' And you shall say to him, 'Thus says the Lord: b "In the place where dogs licked up the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick your own blood."'"
20
