1 Kings 21:23-25

21:23 The Lord says this about Jezebel, ‘Dogs will devour Jezebel by the outer wall ¹  of Jezreel.’ 21:24 As for Ahab’s family, dogs will eat the ones ²  who die in the city, and the birds of the sky will eat the ones who die in the country.” 21:25 (There had never been anyone like Ahab, who was firmly committed ³  to doing evil in the sight of ⁴  the Lord, urged on by his wife Jezebel. ⁵ 

¹ tc A few Hebrew mss and some ancient versions agree with 2 Kgs 9:10, 36, which reads, “the plot [of ground] at Jezreel.” The Hebrew words translated “outer wall” (חֵל, khel, defectively written here!) and “plot [of ground]” (חֵלֶק, kheleq) are spelled similarly.

² tn “Dogs will eat the ones who belonging to Ahab who die in the city.”

³ tn Heb “who sold himself.”

⁴ tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

⁵ tn Heb “like Ahab…whom his wife Jezebel incited.”
