1 H310 It happened after H1697 these things, H5022 that Naboth H3158 the Jezreelite H3754 had a vineyard, H3157 which was in Jezreel, H681 hard by H1964 the palace H256 of Ahab H4428 king H8111 of Samaria.

2 H256 Ahab H1696 spoke H5022 to Naboth, H559 saying, H5414 "Give H3754 me your vineyard, H1588 that I may have it for a garden H3419 of herbs, H7138 because it is near H681 to H1004 my house; H5414 and I will give H2896 you for it a better H3754 vineyard H2896 than it. Or, if it seems good H5869 to you, H5414 I will give H4242 you its worth H3701 in money."

3 H5022 Naboth H559 said H256 to Ahab, H3068 "May Yahweh H2486 forbid H5414 me, that I should give H5159 the inheritance H1 of my fathers to you!"

4 H256 Ahab H935 came H1004 into his house H5620 sullen H2198 and angry H1697 because of the word H5022 which Naboth H3158 the Jezreelite H1696 had spoken H559 to him; for he had said, H5414 "I will not give H5159 you the inheritance H1 of my fathers." H7901 He laid himself down H4296 on his bed, H5437 and turned away H6440 his face, H398 and would eat H3899 no bread.

5 H348 But Jezebel H802 his wife H935 came H1696 to him, and said H7307 to him, "Why is your spirit H5620 so sad, H398 that you eat H3899 no bread?"

6 H1696 He said H1696 to her, "Because I spoke H5022 to Naboth H3158 the Jezreelite, H1696 and said H5414 to him, ‘Give H3754 me your vineyard H3701 for money; H2655 or else, if it pleases H5414 you, I will give H3754 you another vineyard H559 for it.' He answered, H5414 ‘I will not give H3754 you my vineyard.'"

7 H348 Jezebel H802 his wife H559 said H6213 to him, "Do you now govern H4410 the kingdom H3478 of Israel? H6965 Arise, H398 and eat H3899 bread, H3820 and let your heart H3190 be merry. H5414 I will give H3754 you the vineyard H5022 of Naboth H3158 the Jezreelite."

8 H3789 So she wrote H5612 letters H256 in Ahab's H8034 name, H2856 and sealed H2368 them with his seal, H7971 and sent H5612 the letters H2205 to the elders H2715 and to the nobles H5892 who were in his city, H3427 who lived H5022 with Naboth.

9 H3789 She wrote H5612 in the letters, H559 saying, H7121 "Proclaim H6685 a fast, H3427 and set H5022 Naboth H7218 on high H5971 among the people.

10 H3427 Set H8147 two H582 men, H1100 base H1121 fellows, H5749 before him, and let them testify H559 against him, saying, H1288 ‘You cursed H430 God H4428 and the king!' H3318 Then carry him out, H5619 and stone H4191 him to death."

11 H582 The men H5892 of his city, H2205 even the elders H2715 and the nobles H3427 who lived H5892 in his city, H6213 did H348 as Jezebel H7971 had sent H3789 to them, according as it was written H5612 in the letters H7971 which she had sent to them.

12 H7121 They proclaimed H6685 a fast, H3427 and set H5022 Naboth H7218 on high H5971 among the people.

13 H8147 The two H582 men, H1100 the base H1121 fellows, H935 came H3427 in and sat H1100 before him. The base H582 fellows H5749 testified H5022 against him, even against Naboth, H5971 in the presence of the people, H559 saying, H5022 "Naboth H1288 cursed H430 God H4428 and the king!" H3318 Then they carried H3318 him out H5892 of the city, H5619 and stoned H4191 him to death H68 with stones.

14 H7971 Then they sent H348 to Jezebel, H559 saying, H5022 "Naboth H5619 has been stoned, H4191 and is dead."

15 H348 It happened, when Jezebel H8085 heard H5022 that Naboth H5619 was stoned, H4191 and was dead, H348 that Jezebel H559 said H256 to Ahab, H6965 "Arise, H3423 take possession H3754 of the vineyard H5022 of Naboth H3158 the Jezreelite, H3985 which he refused H5414 to give H3701 you for money; H5022 for Naboth H2416 is not alive, H4191 but dead."

16 H256 It happened, when Ahab H8085 heard H5022 that Naboth H4191 was dead, H256 that Ahab H6965 rose up H3381 to go down H3754 to the vineyard H5022 of Naboth H3158 the Jezreelite, H3423 to take possession of it.

17 H1697 The word H3068 of Yahweh H452 came to Elijah H8664 the Tishbite, H559 saying,

18 H6965 "Arise, H3381 go down H7125 to meet H256 Ahab H4428 king H3478 of Israel, H8111 who dwells in Samaria. H3754 Behold, he is in the vineyard H5022 of Naboth, H3381 where he has gone down H3423 to take possession of it.

19 H1696 You shall speak H559 to him, saying, H559 ‘Thus says H3068 Yahweh, H7523 "Have you killed H3423 and also taken possession?"' H1696 You shall speak H559 to him, saying, H559 ‘Thus says H3068 Yahweh, H4725 "In the place H3611 where dogs H3952 licked H1818 the blood H5022 of Naboth, H3611 dogs H3952 will lick H1818 your blood, even yours."'"

20 H256 Ahab H559 said H452 to Elijah, H4672 "Have you found H341 me, my enemy?" H559 He answered, H4672 "I have found H4376 you, because you have sold H6213 yourself to do H7451 that which is evil H5869 in the sight H3068 of Yahweh.

21 H935 Behold, I will bring H7451 evil H310 on you, and will utterly H1197 sweep you away H3772 and will cut off H256 from Ahab H8366 everyone who urinates H7023 against a wall, H6113 and him who is shut up H5800 and him who is left H3478 at large in Israel.

22 H5414 I will make H1004 your house H1004 like the house H3379 of Jeroboam H1121 the son H5028 of Nebat, H1004 and like the house H1201 of Baasha H1121 the son H281 of Ahijah H3708 for the provocation H3707 with which you have provoked me to anger, H3478 and have made Israel H2398 to sin."

23 H3068 Yahweh H1696 also spoke H348 of Jezebel, H559 saying, H3611 "The dogs H398 shall eat H348 Jezebel H2426 by the rampart H3157 of Jezreel.

24 H3611 The dogs H398 will eat H4191 he who dies H256 of Ahab H5892 in the city; H5775 and the birds H8064 of the sky H398 will eat H4191 he who dies H7704 in the field."

25 H256 But there was none like Ahab, H4376 who sold H6213 himself to do H7451 that which was evil H5869 in the sight H3068 of Yahweh, H348 whom Jezebel H802 his wife H5496 stirred up.

26 H3966 He did very H8581 abominably H3212 in following H1544 idols, H567 according to all that the Amorites H6213 did, H3068 whom Yahweh H3423 cast out H6440 before H1121 the children H3478 of Israel.

27 H256 It happened, when Ahab H8085 heard H1697 those words, H7167 that he tore H899 his clothes, H7760 and put H8242 sackcloth H1320 on his flesh, H6684 and fasted, H7901 and lay H8242 in sackcloth, H1980 and went H328 softly.

28 H1697 The word H3068 of Yahweh H452 came to Elijah H8664 the Tishbite, H559 saying,

29 H7200 "See H256 how Ahab H3665 humbles H6440 himself before H3282 me? Because H3665 he humbles H6440 himself before H935 me, I will not bring H7451 the evil H3117 in his days; H1121 but in his son's H3117 days H935 will I bring H7451 the evil H1004 on his house."
