RF KI1 21:1 (B.C. 899.) Naboth's Vineyard and Jezabel's Wickedness.
The following was after these events. Naboth the Jezraalite possessed a vineyard at Jezraal at the side of the park of Akhab, king of Shomeron,
RF KI1 21:2 and Akhab spoke to Naboth and said, "Sell me your vineyard, and let it be mine for a flower garden; for it is near the side of my house; and I will give you in exchange a better vineyard than it; or if preferable in your opinion I will pay you money for the purchase."
RF KI1 21:3 Naboth, however, replied to Akhab, "It would be a grief to me if I sold you my ancestral property."
RF KI1 21:4 Akhab consequently went to his home sad and gloomy over the reply Naboth the Jezraalite had spoken to him, when he said, "I will not sell you my ancestral property," therefore he lay on his couch, and turned his face, and would not eat food.
RF KI1 21:5 Aisabel, his wife, consequently came to him and asked, "What is the matter, that your spirit is depressed? and you will not take food?"
RF KI1 21:6 And he told her about Naboth of Jezraal, what he replied when "I asked him, 'Sell me your vineyard for money, or if it pleases you, I will give you a vineyard instead of it, '—but he answered I will not sell you my vineyard.'"
RF KI1 21:7 Aisabel, his wife, however, exclaimed, "Show now that you rule over Israel! Get up and eat bread, and rest your heart;—I will give you the vineyard of Naboth of Jezraal!"
RF KI1 21:8 (B.C. 899.) The conspiracy of Jezabel against Naboth.
She consequently wrote letters in the name of Akhab, and sealed the letters with his seal, to the judges and freemen of the village where Naboth resided,
RF KI1 21:9 and wrote in the letters to say: "Proclaim a feast, and put Naboth at the head of the people.
RF KI1 21:10 Then set up two scoundrels two against him, and instruct them to say, 'You have libeled GOD and the king!'—and let them drag him out, and stone, and kill him."
RF KI1 21:11 The judges and freemen who lived in his village consequently prepared the men in the way Aisabel had sent to them in the letter she had written.
RF KI1 21:12 They proclaimed a feast, and put Naboth at the head of the people,
RF KI1 21:13 and brought the two villains, and set them against him, and the scoundrels accused Naboth before the people, saying, "Naboth libeled GOD and the king." They consequently dragged him outside the village, and stoned, and murdered him.
RF KI1 21:14 Then they sent to Aisabel to say "That Naboth has been stoned, and is dead!"
RF KI1 21:15 And when Aisabel heard that Naboth was stoned, and killed, then Aisabel said to Akhab, "Get up! Seize the vineyard of Naboth of Jezraal, which he refused to sell to you for money, for Naboth is no longer alive, but dead!"
RF KI1 21:16 Eliah Denounces Ahab whilst seizing Naboth's Vineyard.
So when Akhab heard that Naboth was dead, Akhab arose to go up to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezraalite to seize it,
RF KI1 21:17 but the command of the EVER-LIVING came to Eliah the Tishbite to say,
RF KI1 21:18 "Arise, go and meet Akhab the king of Israel who is in Shomeron. Meet him at the vineyard of Naboth, which he has gone to seize,
RF KI1 21:19 and address him saying, 'Thus says the EVER-LIVING! In the place where the dogs licked the blood of Naboth, the dogs shall lick your blood,—even yours!'"
RF KI1 21:20 But Akhab replied to Eliah, "Have you found me, my enemy?" And he answered, "I have met you,—because you have sold yourself to do evil in the sight of the EVER-LIVING.
RF KI1 21:21 Hence I bring evil to you, and I send a fire after you, and will cause to cut off from Akhab every boy, and girl, and nursling in Israel!
RF KI1 21:22 And I will make your family like the family of Jerabam the son of Nebat, and like the family of Basha-ben-Akhira, for the insult with which they insulted and sinned in Israel.
RF KI1 21:23 And the EVER-LIVING also says to Aisabel, The dogs shall eat Aisabel in the district of Jezraal.
RF KI1 21:24 "Whoever of Akhab is killed in the city, the dogs shall eat!—and whoever killed in the fields,—the fowls of the skies shall devour,—
RF KI1 21:25 because there has been none like Akhab who has sold himself to do evil in the sight of the EVER-LIVING with Aisabel his wife;
RF KI1 21:26 and has foully defiled himself by going after idols, in the way the Amorites did, whom the EVER-LIVING drove from before the children of Israel!'"
RF KI1 21:27 When, however, Akhab heard these messages, he tore his robes, and put a sack upon his body, and fasted, and slept in sackcloth and went sighing.
RF KI1 21:28 Consequently the message of the EVER-LIVING came to Eliah the Tishbite, to say,
RF KI1 21:29 "Do you see how Akhab humbles himself before me? Therefore, because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days.—In the days of his son I will bring the evil on his family."
