1 Kings 21:11-29

21:11

And the men
<0582>

of his city
<05892>_,

[even] the elders
<02205>

and the nobles
<02715>

who were the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

in his city
<05892>_,

did
<06213> (8799)

as Jezebel
<0348>

had sent
<07971> (8804)

unto them, [and] as it [was] written
<03789> (8803)

in the letters
<05612>

which she had sent
<07971> (8804)

unto them.

21:12

They proclaimed
<07121> (8804)

a fast
<06685>_,

and set
<03427> (8689)

Naboth
<05022>

on high
<07218>

among the people
<05971>_.

21:13

And there came
<0935> (8799)

in two
<08147>

men
<0582>_,

children
<01121>

of Belial
<01100>_,

and sat
<03427> (8799)

before him: and the men
<0582>

of Belial
<01100>

witnessed
<05749> (8686)

against him, [even] against Naboth
<05022>_,

in the presence of the people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Naboth
<05022>

did blaspheme
<01288> (8765)

God
<0430>

and the king
<04428>_.

Then they carried him forth
<03318> (8686)

out
<02351>

of the city
<05892>_,

and stoned
<05619> (8799)

him with stones
<068>_,

that he died
<04191> (8799)_.

21:14

Then they sent
<07971> (8799)

to Jezebel
<0348>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Naboth
<05022>

is stoned
<05619> (8795)_,

and is dead
<04191> (8799)_.

21:15

And it came to pass, when Jezebel
<0348>

heard
<08085> (8800)

that Naboth
<05022>

was stoned
<05619> (8795)_,

and was dead
<04191> (8799)_,

that Jezebel
<0348>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Ahab
<0256>_,

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

take possession
<03423> (8798)

of the vineyard
<03754>

of Naboth
<05022>

the Jezreelite
<03158>_,

which he refused
<03985> (8765)

to give
<05414> (8800)

thee for money
<03701>_:

for Naboth
<05022>

is not alive
<02416>_,

but dead
<04191> (8804)_.

21:16

And it came to pass, when Ahab
<0256>

heard
<08085> (8800)

that Naboth
<05022>

was dead
<04191> (8804)_,

that Ahab
<0256>

rose up
<06965> (8799)

to go down
<03381> (8800)

to the vineyard
<03754>

of Naboth
<05022>

the Jezreelite
<03158>_,

to take possession
<03423> (8800)

of it.

21:17

And the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came to Elijah
<0452>

the Tishbite
<08664>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

21:18

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

go down
<03381> (8798)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

Ahab
<0256>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

which [is] in Samaria
<08111>_:

behold, [he is] in the vineyard
<03754>

of Naboth
<05022>_,

whither he is gone down
<03381> (8804)

to possess
<03423> (8800)

it.

21:19

And thou shalt speak
<01696> (8765)

unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Hast thou killed
<07523> (8804)_,

and also taken possession
<03423> (8804)_?

And thou shalt speak
<01696> (8765)

unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

In the place
<04725>

where dogs
<03611>

licked
<03952> (8804)

the blood
<01818>

of Naboth
<05022>

shall dogs
<03611>

lick
<03952> (8799)

thy blood
<01818>_,

even thine.

21:20

And Ahab
<0256>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Elijah
<0452>_,

Hast thou found
<04672> (8804)

me, O mine enemy
<0341> (8802)_?

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

I have found
<04672> (8804)

[thee]: because thou hast sold
<04376> (8692)

thyself to work
<06213> (8800)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

21:21

Behold, I will bring
<0935> (8688)

evil
<07451>

upon thee, and will take away
<01197> (8765)

thy posterity
<0310>_,

and will cut off
<03772> (8689)

from Ahab
<0256>

him that pisseth
<08366> (8688)

against the wall
<07023>_,

and him that is shut up
<06113> (8803)

and left
<05800> (8803)

in Israel
<03478>_,

21:22

And will make
<05414> (8804)

thine house
<01004>

like the house
<01004>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_,

and like the house
<01004>

of Baasha
<01201>

the son
<01121>

of Ahijah
<0281>_,

for the provocation
<03708>

wherewith thou hast provoked [me] to anger
<03707> (8689)_,

and made Israel
<03478>

to sin
<02398> (8686)_.

21:23

And of Jezebel
<0348>

also spake
<01696> (8765)

the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The dogs
<03611>

shall eat
<0398> (8799)

Jezebel
<0348>

by the wall
<02426>

of Jezreel
<03157>_.

{wall: or, ditch}

21:24

Him that dieth
<04191> (8801)

of Ahab
<0256>

in the city
<05892>

the dogs
<03611>

shall eat
<0398> (8799)_;

and him that dieth
<04191> (8801)

in the field
<07704>

shall the fowls
<05775>

of the air
<08064>

eat
<0398> (8799)_.

21:25

But there was none like unto Ahab
<0256>_,

which did sell
<04376> (8694)

himself to work
<06213> (8800)

wickedness
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

whom Jezebel
<0348>

his wife
<0802>

stirred up
<05496> (8689)_.

{stirred...: or, incited}

21:26

And he did very
<03966>

abominably
<08581> (8686)

in following
<03212> (8800) <0310>

idols
<01544>_,

according to all [things] as did
<06213> (8804)

the Amorites
<0567>_,

whom the LORD
<03068>

cast out
<03423> (8689)

before
<06440>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

21:27

And it came to pass, when Ahab
<0256>

heard
<08085> (8800)

those words
<01697>_,

that he rent
<07167> (8799)

his clothes
<0899>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

sackcloth
<08242>

upon his flesh
<01320>_,

and fasted
<06684> (8799)_,

and lay
<07901> (8799)

in sackcloth
<08242>_,

and went
<01980> (8762)

softly
<0328>_.

21:28

And the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came to Elijah
<0452>

the Tishbite
<08664>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

21:29

Seest
<07200> (8804)

thou how Ahab
<0256>

humbleth
<03665> (8738)

himself before
<06440>

me? because
<03282>

he humbleth
<03665> (8738)

himself before
<06440>

me, I will not bring
<0935> (8686)

the evil
<07451>

in his days
<03117>_:

[but] in his son's
<01121>

days
<03117>

will I bring
<0935> (8686)

the evil
<07451>

upon his house
<01004>_.
