11:021:012 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the
           people.

11:021:013 And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before
           him:  and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against
           Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did
           blaspheme God and the king.  Then they carried him forth out of
           the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.

11:021:014 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is
           dead.

11:021:015 And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was
           stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take
           possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he
           refused to give thee for money:  for Naboth is not alive, but
           dead.

11:021:016 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead,
           that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the
           Jezreelite, to take possession of it.

11:021:017 And the word of the lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

11:021:018 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in
           Samaria:  behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he
           is gone down to possess it.

11:021:019 And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the lord,
           Hast thou killed, and also taken possession?  And thou shalt
           speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the lord, In the place
           where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy
           blood, even thine.

11:021:020 And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy?  And
           he answered, I have found thee:  because thou hast sold thyself
           to work evil in the sight of the lord.

11:021:021 Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy
           posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against
           the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,

11:021:022 And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son
           of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for
           the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and
           made Israel to sin.

11:021:023 And of Jezebel also spake the lord, saying, The dogs shall eat
           Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.

11:021:024 Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him
           that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.

11:021:025 But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to
           work wickedness in the sight of the lord, whom Jezebel his
           wife stirred up.

11:021:026 And he did very abominably in following idols, according to
           all things as did the Amorites, whom the lord cast out before
           the children of Israel.
