his officer Bidkar, “Pick him up and throw him into the part of the field that once belonged to Naboth of Jezreel. Remember, you and I were riding together behind his father Ahab, when the
Lord pronounced this judgment on him,
9:26 ‘“Know for sure that I saw the shed blood of Naboth and his sons yesterday,” says the
Lord, “and that I will give you what you deserve right here in this plot of land,”
says the
Lord.’ So now pick him up and throw him into this plot of land, just as the
Lord said.”
