After these things, Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel, next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. Jos 19:181Ki 18:45-462Ch 28:22Jdg 6:331Ki 20:35-431Sa 29:1Ezr 9:13-14Hos 1:4-5 Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money.” 1Sa 8:141Ti 6:9Jas 1:14-151Sa 29:61Sa 8:62Ki 9:27Deu 11:10Deu 5:21
Naboth said to Ahab, “May the LORD forbid me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!” Num 36:7Lev 25:23Ezk 46:181Ch 11:191Co 6:151Sa 12:231Sa 24:6Gal 6:14
Ahab came into his house sullen and angry because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him, for he had said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He laid himself down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread. 1Ki 20:43Jas 1:141Ki 21:32Sa 13:22Sa 13:4Ecc 6:9Ecc 7:8-9Eph 4:27 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, “Why is your spirit so sad that you eat no bread?” 1Ki 16:311Ki 18:41Ki 19:21Ki 21:252Sa 13:4Est 4:5Gen 3:6Neh 2:2
He said to her, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, ‘Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.’ He answered, ‘I will not give you my vineyard.’” 1Ki 21:2-41Ti 6:9-10Est 5:9-14Est 6:12Jas 4:2-7Pro 14:30
Jezebel his wife said to him, “Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.” 1Ki 21:15-161Sa 8:141Sa 8:42Sa 13:4Dan 5:19-21Ecc 4:1Ecc 8:4Mic 2:1-2 So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who were in his city, who lived with Naboth. 1Ki 20:71Ki 21:12Ch 32:172Ki 10:1-72Ki 10:112Sa 11:14-15Deu 16:18-19Deu 21:1-9 She wrote in the letters, saying, “Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people. Isa 58:4Jhn 18:28Luk 20:47Mat 2:8Mat 23:13Gen 34:13-17 Set two men, wicked fellows, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, ‘You cursed God and the king!’ Then carry him out, and stone him to death.” Exo 22:28Act 6:11Lev 24:15-16Deu 13:13Deu 19:15Act 6:13Jdg 19:22Jhn 10:33
The men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had instructed them in the letters which she had written and sent to them. 1Sa 22:171Sa 23:202Ch 24:212Ki 10:6-7Act 4:19Act 5:29Dan 3:18-25Exo 1:17 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people. Isa 58:41Ki 21:8-10 The two men, the wicked fellows, came in and sat before him. The wicked fellows testified against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king!” Then they carried him out of the city and stoned him to death with stones. 2Ki 9:26Act 24:5Act 6:11Act 7:57-59Amo 7:10Deu 13:10Deu 19:16-21Deu 21:21 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned and is dead.” 2Sa 11:14-24Ecc 5:8Ecc 8:14
When Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, Jezebel said to Ahab, “Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.” 1Ki 21:7Pro 1:10-16Pro 4:17
When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it. 2Pe 2:152Sa 1:13-162Sa 11:25-272Sa 23:15-172Sa 4:9-12Isa 33:15Oba 1:12-14Psa 50:18
The LORD’s word came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, Psa 9:122Ki 1:15-162Ki 5:26Isa 26:21 “Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwells in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it. 1Ki 13:322Ch 22:9 You shall speak to him, saying, ‘The LORD says, “Have you killed and also taken possession?”’ You shall speak to him, saying, ‘The LORD says, “In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs will lick your blood, even yours.”’” 1Ki 22:382Sa 12:92Ki 9:25-262Sa 12:11Est 7:10Gen 3:11Gen 4:9-10Hab 2:12
Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?” 2Ki 17:17Rom 7:141Ki 18:171Ki 21:25Isa 52:3Rev 11:101Ki 16:301Ki 22:8
He answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in the LORD’s sight. Behold, I will bring evil on you, and will utterly sweep you away and will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, 1 and him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel. 1Ki 14:101Sa 25:221Sa 25:342Ki 10:1-72Ki 10:11-142Ki 10:172Ki 10:302Ki 14:26 I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation with which you have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel to sin.” 1Ki 16:31Ki 14:161Ki 16:111Ki 12:301Ki 15:29-301Ki 15:341Ki 16:26 The LORD also spoke of Jezebel, saying, “The dogs will eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel. 2Ki 9:102Ki 9:30-371Ki 21:25 The dogs will eat whoever dies of Ahab in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat whoever dies in the field.” 1Ki 14:111Ki 16:4Jer 15:3Ezk 32:4-5Ezk 39:18-20Isa 14:19Rev 19:18
But there was no one like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up. Pro 22:141Ki 21:201Ki 16:30-33Ecc 7:261Ki 21:7Act 14:2Rom 6:191Ki 11:1-4 He did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel. 2Ki 21:11Gen 15:16Lev 18:25-301Ki 15:121Pe 4:32Ch 15:82Ch 33:22Ch 33:9
When Ahab heard those words, he tore his clothes, put sackcloth on his body, fasted, lay in sackcloth, and went about despondently. 2Ki 6:30Gen 37:342Sa 3:312Ki 18:372Sa 12:16-17Isa 22:12Isa 38:15Isa 58:5-8
The LORD’s word came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, “See how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but I will bring the evil on his house in his son’s day.” 2Pe 3:9Mic 7:182Ki 9:25-26Psa 86:152Ki 9:332Ki 10:11Ezk 33:10-11Psa 18:44
