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.
