7 And Iy Zebel his woman says to him, Work you not the sovereigndom of Yisra El? Rise! Eat bread! Well-please your heart! I give you the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre Eliy.
8 So she inscribes scrolls in the name of Ach Ab and seals them with his seal: and sends the scrolls to the elders and to the nobles in his city who settle with Naboth:
9 and she inscribes in the scrolls, saying, Call a fast and seat Naboth the head of the people:
10 and set two men, sons of Beli Yaal, in front of him, to witness against him, saying, You bless Elohim and the sovereign. - and then bring him out and stone him that he die.
11 And the men of his city - the elders and the nobles who settle in his city work as Iy Zebel sent them - as inscribed in the scrolls she sent them:
12 they call a fast and seat Naboth at the head of the people.
13 And two men come in - sons of Beli Yaal and settle in front of him: and the men of Beli Yaal witness against him - against Naboth in the presence of the people saying, Naboth blesses Elohim and the sovereign. And they bring him from the city and stone him with stones that he dies:
14 and they send to Iy Zebel, saying, They stoned Naboth and he died.
15 And so be it, Iy Zebel hears they stoned Naboth and he died, and Iy Zebel says to Ach Ab, Rise! Possess the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre Eliy which he refused to give you for silver: for Naboth is not alive, but died.
16 And so be it, Ach Ab hears that Naboth died, and Ach Ab rises to descend to the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre Eliy, to possess it.
17 And the word of Yah Veh comes to Eli Yah the Tisbehiy, saying,
18 Rise! Descend to meet Ach Ab sovereign of Yisra El, who is in Shomeron: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he descends to possess it:
19 and word to him, saying, Thus says Yah Veh: You - murder? And also possess? And word to him, saying, Thus says Yah Veh: In the place dogs lapped the blood of Naboth dogs lap your blood - even yours.
20 And Ach Ab says to Eli Yah, Have you found me, O my enemy? And he says, I have found: because you sold yourself to work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh:
21 behold, I bring evil on you and burn away your posterity and cut off from Ach Ab all who urinate against the wall and who are restrained and left in Yisra El:
22 and give your house as the house of Yarob Am the son of Nebat and as the house of Basha the son of Achiy Yah for the vexation whereby you vex me and have Yisra El sin.
23 And Yah Veh also words of Iy Zebel, saying, The dogs devour Iy Zebel by the trench of Yizre El.
24 He who dies of Ach Ab in the city the dogs devour; and he who dies in the field the flyers of the heavens devour.
25 Surely there is none like Ach Ab who sold himself to work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh - whom Iy Zebel his woman goaded.
26 And he mighty abhorrently goes after idols according to all the Emoriy worked - whom Yah Veh dispossessed at the face of the sons of Yisra El.
27 And so be it, Ach Ab hears those words, and he rips his clothes and sets saq on his flesh and fasts and lies down in saq and walks gently.
28 And the word of Yah Veh comes to Eli Yah the Tisbehiy, saying,
29 See how Ach Ab humbles himself at my face? Because he humbles himself at my face I bring no evil in his days: but in the days of his son I bring the evil on his house.
