11:020:041 And he hasted, and took the ashes away
from his face; and the
king
of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets.
11:020:042 And he said unto him, Thus saith the lord,
Because thou hast
let
go out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter
destruction,
therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy
people
for his people.
11:020:043 And the king of Israel went to his house
heavy and displeased,
and
came to Samaria.
11:021:001 And it came to pass after these things,
that Naboth the
Jezreelite
had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the
palace
of Ahab king of Samaria.
11:021:002 And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give
me thy vineyard, that
I
may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near
unto
my
house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard
than
it;
or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth
of
it
in money.
11:021:003 And Naboth said to Ahab, The lord
forbid it me, that I should
give
the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
11:021:004 And Ahab came into his house heavy and
displeased because of
the
word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him:
for he
had
said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers.
And
he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his
face,
and
would eat no bread.
11:021:005 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said
unto him, Why is
thy
spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?
11:021:006 And he said unto her, Because I spake unto
Naboth the
Jezreelite,
and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money;
or
else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard
for
it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.
11:021:007 And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost
thou now govern the
kingdom
of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart
be
merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth
the
Jezreelite.
11:021:008 So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name,
and sealed them with his
seal,
and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles
that
were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.
11:021:009 And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim
a fast, and set
Naboth
on high among the people:
11:021:010 And set two men, sons of Belial, before
him, to bear witness
against
him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king.
And
then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.
11:021:011 And the men of his city, even the elders
and the nobles who
were
the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent
unto
them,
and as it was written in the letters which she had
sent
unto
them.
