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.
