And Ahabh256 spakeh1696h8762 unto Nabothh5022, sayingh559h8800, Giveh5414h8798 me thy vineyardh3754, that I may have it for a gardenh1588 of herbsh3419, because it is nearh7138 untoh681 my househ1004: and I will giveh5414h8799 thee for it a betterh2896 vineyardh3754 than it; or , if it seem goodh2896 to theeh5869, I will giveh5414h8799 thee the worthh4242 of it in moneyh3701. seem...: Heb. be good in thine eyes

4

And Ahabh256 cameh935h8799 into his househ1004 heavyh5620 and displeasedh2198 because of the wordh1697 which Nabothh5022 the Jezreeliteh3158 had spokenh1696h8765 to him: for he had saidh559h8799, I will not giveh5414h8799 thee the inheritanceh5159 of my fathersh1. And he laid him downh7901h8799 upon his bedh4296, and turned awayh5437h8686 his faceh6440, and would eath398h8804 no breadh3899.

5

But Jezebelh348 his wifeh802 cameh935h8799 to him, and saidh1696h8762 unto him, Why is thy spirith7307 so sadh5620, that thou eatesth398h8802 no breadh3899?

6

And he saidh1696h8762 unto her, Because I spakeh1696h8762 unto Nabothh5022 the Jezreeliteh3158, and saidh559h8799 unto him, Giveh5414h8798 me thy vineyardh3754 for moneyh3701; or else, if it pleaseh2655 thee, I will giveh5414h8799 thee another vineyardh3754 for it: and he answeredh559h8799, I will not giveh5414h8799 thee my vineyardh3754.

7

And Jezebelh348 his wifeh802 saidh559h8799 unto him, Dost thou now governh6213h8799 the kingdomh4410 of Israelh3478? ariseh6965h8798, and eath398h8798 breadh3899, and let thine hearth3820 be merryh3190h8799: I will giveh5414h8799 thee the vineyardh3754 of Nabothh5022 the Jezreeliteh3158.

So she wroteh3789h8799 lettersh5612 in Ahab'sh256 nameh8034, and sealedh2856h8799 them with his sealh2368, and senth7971h8799 the lettersh5612 unto the eldersh2205 and to the noblesh2715 that were in his cityh5892, dwellingh3427h8802 with Nabothh5022.

And she wroteh3789h8799 in the lettersh5612, sayingh559h8800, Proclaimh7121h8798 a fasth6685, and seth3427h8685 Nabothh5022 on highh7218 among the peopleh5971: on high...: Heb. in the top of the people

And seth3427h8685 twoh8147 menh582, sonsh1121 of Belialh1100, before him, to bear witnessh5749h8686 against him, sayingh559h8800, Thou didst blasphemeh1288h8765 Godh430 and the kingh4428. And then carry him outh3318h8689, and stoneh5619h8798 him, that he may dieh4191h8799.

11

And the menh582 of his cityh5892, even the eldersh2205 and the noblesh2715 who were the inhabitantsh3427h8802 in his cityh5892, didh6213h8799 as Jezebelh348 had senth7971h8804 unto them, and as it was writtenh3789h8803 in the lettersh5612 which she had senth7971h8804 unto them.

12

They proclaimedh7121h8804 a fasth6685, and seth3427h8689 Nabothh5022 on highh7218 among the peopleh5971.

13

And there cameh935h8799 in twoh8147 menh582, childrenh1121 of Belialh1100, and sath3427h8799 before him: and the menh582 of Belialh1100 witnessedh5749h8686 against him, even against Nabothh5022, in the presence of the peopleh5971, sayingh559h8800, Nabothh5022 did blasphemeh1288h8765 Godh430 and the kingh4428. Then they carried him forthh3318h8686 outh2351 of the cityh5892, and stonedh5619h8799 him with stonesh68, that he diedh4191h8799.

14

Then they senth7971h8799 to Jezebelh348, sayingh559h8800, Nabothh5022 is stonedh5619h8795, and is deadh4191h8799.

15

And it came to pass, when Jezebelh348 heardh8085h8800 that Nabothh5022 was stonedh5619h8795, and was deadh4191h8799, that Jezebelh348 saidh559h8799 to Ahabh256, Ariseh6965h8798, take possessionh3423h8798 of the vineyardh3754 of Nabothh5022 the Jezreeliteh3158, which he refusedh3985h8765 to giveh5414h8800 thee for moneyh3701: for Nabothh5022 is not aliveh2416, but deadh4191h8804.

16

And it came to pass, when Ahabh256 heardh8085h8800 that Nabothh5022 was deadh4191h8804, that Ahabh256 rose uph6965h8799 to go downh3381h8800 to the vineyardh3754 of Nabothh5022 the Jezreeliteh3158, to take possessionh3423h8800 of it.

17

And the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 came to Elijahh452 the Tishbiteh8664, sayingh559h8800,

18

Ariseh6965h8798, go downh3381h8798 to meeth7125h8800 Ahabh256 kingh4428 of Israelh3478, which is in Samariah8111: behold, he is in the vineyardh3754 of Nabothh5022, whither he is gone downh3381h8804 to possessh3423h8800 it.

19

And thou shalt speakh1696h8765 unto him, sayingh559h8800, Thus saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068, Hast thou killedh7523h8804, and also taken possessionh3423h8804? And thou shalt speakh1696h8765 unto him, sayingh559h8800, Thus saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068, In the placeh4725 where dogsh3611 lickedh3952h8804 the bloodh1818 of Nabothh5022 shall dogsh3611 lickh3952h8799 thy bloodh1818, even thine.

20

And Ahabh256 saidh559h8799 to Elijahh452, Hast thou foundh4672h8804 me, O mine enemyh341h8802? And he answeredh559h8799, I have foundh4672h8804 thee : because thou hast soldh4376h8692 thyself to workh6213h8800 evilh7451 in the sighth5869 of the LORDh3068.

21

Behold, I will bringh935h8688 evilh7451 upon thee, and will take awayh1197h8765 thy posterityh310, and will cut offh3772h8689 from Ahabh256 him that pissethh8366h8688 against the wallh7023, and him that is shut uph6113h8803 and lefth5800h8803 in Israelh3478,

22

And will makeh5414h8804 thine househ1004 like the househ1004 of Jeroboamh3379 the sonh1121 of Nebath5028, and like the househ1004 of Baashah1201 the sonh1121 of Ahijahh281, for the provocationh3708 wherewith thou hast provoked me to angerh3707h8689, and made Israelh3478 to sinh2398h8686.

23

And of Jezebelh348 also spakeh1696h8765 the LORDh3068, sayingh559h8800, The dogsh3611 shall eath398h8799 Jezebelh348 by the wallh2426 of Jezreelh3157. wall: or, ditch

24

Him that diethh4191h8801 of Ahabh256 in the cityh5892 the dogsh3611 shall eath398h8799; and him that diethh4191h8801 in the fieldh7704 shall the fowlsh5775 of the airh8064 eath398h8799.

25

But there was none like unto Ahabh256, which did sellh4376h8694 himself to workh6213h8800 wickednessh7451 in the sighth5869 of the LORDh3068, whom Jezebelh348 his wifeh802 stirred uph5496h8689. stirred...: or, incited

26

And he did veryh3966 abominablyh8581h8686 in followingh3212h8800h310 idolsh1544, according to all things as didh6213h8804 the Amoritesh567, whom the LORDh3068 cast outh3423h8689 beforeh6440 the childrenh1121 of Israelh3478.

27

And it came to pass, when Ahabh256 heardh8085h8800 those wordsh1697, that he renth7167h8799 his clothesh899, and puth7760h8799 sackclothh8242 upon his fleshh1320, and fastedh6684h8799, and layh7901h8799 in sackclothh8242, and wenth1980h8762 softlyh328.

28

And the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 came to Elijahh452 the Tishbiteh8664, sayingh559h8800,

29

Seesth7200h8804 thou how Ahabh256 humblethh3665h8738 himself beforeh6440 me? becauseh3282 he humblethh3665h8738 himself beforeh6440 me, I will not bringh935h8686 the evilh7451 in his daysh3117: but in his son'sh1121 daysh3117 will I bringh935h8686 the evilh7451 upon his househ1004.
