H310
And it came to pass 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
And Ahab
H1696
spake
[H8762]
H5022
unto Naboth
H559
, saying
[H8800]
H5414
, Give
[H8798]
H3754
me thy vineyard
H1588
, that I may have it for a garden
H3419
of herbs
H7138
, because it is near
H681
unto
H1004
my house
H5414
: and I will give
[H8799]
H2896
thee for it a better
H3754
vineyard
H2896
than it; or, if it seem good
H5869
to thee
H5414
, I will give
[H8799]
H4242
thee the worth
H3701
of it in money.
3
H5022
And Naboth
H559
said
[H8799]
H256
to Ahab
H3068
, The LORD
H2486
forbid
H5414
it me, that I should give
[H8800]
H5159
the inheritance
H1
of my fathers unto thee.
4
H256
And Ahab
H935
came
[H8799]
H1004
into his house
H5620
heavy
H2198
and displeased
H1697
because of the word
H5022
which Naboth
H3158
the Jezreelite
H1696
had spoken
[H8765]
H559
to him: for he had said
[H8799]
H5414
, I will not give
[H8799]
H5159
thee the inheritance
H1
of my fathers
H7901
. And he laid him down
[H8799]
H4296
upon his bed
H5437
, and turned away
[H8686]
H6440
his face
H398
, and would eat
[H8804]
H3899
no bread.
5
H348
But Jezebel
H802
his wife
H935
came
[H8799]
H1696
to him, and said
[H8762]
H7307
unto him, Why is thy spirit
H5620
so sad
H398
, that thou eatest
[H8802]
H3899
no bread?
6
H1696
And he said
[H8762]
H1696
unto her, Because I spake
[H8762]
H5022
unto Naboth
H3158
the Jezreelite
H559
, and said
[H8799]
H5414
unto him, Give
[H8798]
H3754
me thy vineyard
H3701
for money
H2655
; or else, if it please
H5414
thee, I will give
[H8799]
H3754
thee another vineyard
H559
for it: and he answered
[H8799]
H5414
, I will not give
[H8799]
H3754
thee my vineyard.
7
H348
And Jezebel
H802
his wife
H559
said
[H8799]
H6213
unto him, Dost thou now govern
[H8799]
H4410
the kingdom
H3478
of Israel
H6965
? arise
[H8798]
H398
, and eat
[H8798]
H3899
bread
H3820
, and let thine heart
H3190
be merry
[H8799]
H5414
: I will give
[H8799]
H3754
thee the vineyard
H5022
of Naboth
H3158
the Jezreelite.
8
H3789
So she wrote
[H8799]
H5612
letters
H256
in Ahab's
H8034
name
H2856
, and sealed
[H8799]
H2368
them with his seal
H7971
, and sent
[H8799]
H5612
the letters
H2205
unto the elders
H2715
and to the nobles
H5892
that were in his city
H3427
, dwelling
[H8802]
H5022
with Naboth.
9
H3789
And she wrote
[H8799]
H5612
in the letters
H559
, saying
[H8800]
H7121
, Proclaim
[H8798]
H6685
a fast
H3427
, and set
[H8685]
H5022
Naboth
H7218
on high
H5971
among the people:
10
H3427
And set
[H8685]
H8147
two
H582
men
H1121
, sons
H1100
of Belial
H5749
, before him, to bear witness
[H8686]
H559
against him, saying
[H8800]
H1288
, Thou didst blaspheme
[H8765]
H430
God
H4428
and the king
H3318
. And then carry him out
[H8689]
H5619
, and stone
[H8798]
H4191
him, that he may die
[H8799]
.
11
H582
And the men
H5892
of his city
H2205
, even the elders
H2715
and the nobles
H3427
who were the inhabitants
[H8802]
H5892
in his city
H6213
, did
[H8799]
H348
as Jezebel
H7971
had sent
[H8804]
H3789
unto them, and as it was written
[H8803]
H5612
in the letters
H7971
which she had sent
[H8804]
unto them.
12
H7121
They proclaimed
[H8804]
H6685
a fast
H3427
, and set
[H8689]
H5022
Naboth
H7218
on high
H5971
among the people.
13
H935
And there came
[H8799]
H8147
in two
H582
men
H1121
, children
H1100
of Belial
H3427
, and sat
[H8799]
H582
before him: and the men
H1100
of Belial
H5749
witnessed
[H8686]
H5022
against him, even against Naboth
H5971
, in the presence of the people
H559
, saying
[H8800]
H5022
, Naboth
H1288
did blaspheme
[H8765]
H430
God
H4428
and the king
H3318
. Then they carried him forth
[H8686]
H2351
out
H5892
of the city
H5619
, and stoned
[H8799]
H68
him with stones
H4191
, that he died
[H8799]
.
14
H7971
Then they sent
[H8799]
H348
to Jezebel
H559
, saying
[H8800]
H5022
, Naboth
H5619
is stoned
[H8795]
H4191
, and is dead
[H8799]
.
15
H348
And it came to pass, when Jezebel
H8085
heard
[H8800]
H5022
that Naboth
H5619
was stoned
[H8795]
H4191
, and was dead
[H8799]
H348
, that Jezebel
H559
said
[H8799]
H256
to Ahab
H6965
, Arise
[H8798]
H3423
, take possession
[H8798]
H3754
of the vineyard
H5022
of Naboth
H3158
the Jezreelite
H3985
, which he refused
[H8765]
H5414
to give
[H8800]
H3701
thee for money
H5022
: for Naboth
H2416
is not alive
H4191
, but dead
[H8804]
.
16
H256
And it came to pass, when Ahab
H8085
heard
[H8800]
H5022
that Naboth
H4191
was dead
[H8804]
H256
, that Ahab
H6965
rose up
[H8799]
H3381
to go down
[H8800]
H3754
to the vineyard
H5022
of Naboth
H3158
the Jezreelite
H3423
, to take possession
[H8800]
of it.
17
H1697
And the word
H3068
of the LORD
H452
came to Elijah
H8664
the Tishbite
H559
, saying
[H8800]
,
18
H6965
Arise
[H8798]
H3381
, go down
[H8798]
H7125
to meet
[H8800]
H256
Ahab
H4428
king
H3478
of Israel
H8111
, which is in Samaria
H3754
: behold, he is in the vineyard
H5022
of Naboth
H3381
, whither he is gone down
[H8804]
H3423
to possess
[H8800]
it.
19
H1696
And thou shalt speak
[H8765]
H559
unto him, saying
[H8800]
H559
, Thus saith
[H8804]
H3068
the LORD
H7523
, Hast thou killed
[H8804]
H3423
, and also taken possession
[H8804]
H1696
? And thou shalt speak
[H8765]
H559
unto him, saying
[H8800]
H559
, Thus saith
[H8804]
H3068
the LORD
H4725
, In the place
H3611
where dogs
H3952
licked
[H8804]
H1818
the blood
H5022
of Naboth
H3611
shall dogs
H3952
lick
[H8799]
H1818
thy blood, even thine.
20
H256
And Ahab
H559
said
[H8799]
H452
to Elijah
H4672
, Hast thou found
[H8804]
H341
me, O mine enemy
[H8802]
H559
? And he answered
[H8799]
H4672
, I have found
[H8804]
H4376
thee : because thou hast sold
[H8692]
H6213
thyself to work
[H8800]
H7451
evil
H5869
in the sight
H3068
of the LORD.
21
H935
Behold, I will bring
[H8688]
H7451
evil
H1197
upon thee, and will take away
[H8765]
H310
thy posterity
H3772
, and will cut off
[H8689]
H256
from Ahab
H8366
him that pisseth
[H8688]
H7023
against the wall
H6113
, and him that is shut up
[H8803]
H5800
and left
[H8803]
H3478
in Israel,
22
H5414
And will make
[H8804]
H1004
thine 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
wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger
[H8689]
H3478
, and made Israel
H2398
to sin
[H8686]
.
23
H348
And of Jezebel
H1696
also spake
[H8765]
H3068
the LORD
H559
, saying
[H8800]
H3611
, The dogs
H398
shall eat
[H8799]
H348
Jezebel
H2426
by the wall
H3157
of Jezreel.
24
H4191
Him that dieth
[H8801]
H256
of Ahab
H5892
in the city
H3611
the dogs
H398
shall eat
[H8799]
H4191
; and him that dieth
[H8801]
H7704
in the field
H5775
shall the fowls
H8064
of the air
H398
eat
[H8799]
.
25
H256
But there was none like unto Ahab
H4376
, which did sell
[H8694]
H6213
himself to work
[H8800]
H7451
wickedness
H5869
in the sight
H3068
of the LORD
H348
, whom Jezebel
H802
his wife
H5496
stirred up
[H8689]
.
26
H3966
And he did very
H8581
abominably
[H8686]
H3212
in following
[H8800]
H310
H1544
idols
H6213
, according to all things as did
[H8804]
H567
the Amorites
H3068
, whom the LORD
H3423
cast out
[H8689]
H6440
before
H1121
the children
H3478
of Israel.
27
H256
And it came to pass, when Ahab
H8085
heard
[H8800]
H1697
those words
H7167
, that he rent
[H8799]
H899
his clothes
H7760
, and put
[H8799]
H8242
sackcloth
H1320
upon his flesh
H6684
, and fasted
[H8799]
H7901
, and lay
[H8799]
H8242
in sackcloth
H1980
, and went
[H8762]
H328
softly.
28
H1697
And the word
H3068
of the LORD
H452
came to Elijah
H8664
the Tishbite
H559
, saying
[H8800]
,
29
H7200
Seest
[H8804]
H256
thou how Ahab
H3665
humbleth
[H8738]
H6440
himself before
H3282
me? because
H3665
he humbleth
[H8738]
H6440
himself before
H935
me, I will not bring
[H8686]
H7451
the evil
H3117
in his days
H1121
: but in his son's
H3117
days
H935
will I bring
[H8686]
H7451
the evil
H1004
upon his house.
