21:19 Say to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: “Haven’t you committed murder and taken possession of the property of the deceased?”’ Then say to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: “In the spot where dogs licked up Naboth’s blood they will also lick up your blood – yes, yours!”’”

Jeremiah 8:1-2

8:1 The Lord says, “When that time comes, ⁷  the bones of the kings of Judah and its leaders, the bones of the priests and prophets and of all the other people who lived in Jerusalem will be dug up from their graves. 8:2 They will be spread out and exposed to the sun, the moon and the stars. ⁸  These are things they ⁹  adored and served, things to which they paid allegiance, ¹⁰  from which they sought guidance, and worshiped. The bones of these people ¹¹  will never be regathered and reburied. They will be like manure used to fertilize the ground. ¹²

His body will be dragged off and thrown outside the gates of Jerusalem.’” ¹⁴ 

[21:24]  ¹ tn “Dogs will eat the ones who belonging to Ahab who die in the city.”

[21:2]  ² tn Heb “if it is good in your eyes.”

[21:2]  ³ tc The Old Greek translation includes the following words: “And it will be mine as a garden of herbs.”

[9:25]  ⁴ tn Or “tokens of peace”; NIV, TEV “fellowship offerings.”

[9:25]  ⁵ tn Heb “and he made complete the house.”

[9:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “and all the desire of Solomon which he wanted to do.”

[8:1]  ⁷ tn Heb “At that time.”

[8:2]  ⁸ tc MT, 4QJer^a and LXX read “the sun and the moon and all the host of heaven,” but 4QJer^c reads “the sun and all the stars.”

[8:2]  ⁹ tn Heb “the sun, moon, and host of heaven which they…”

[8:2]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “followed after.” See the translator’s note at 2:5 for the idiom.

[8:2]  ¹¹ tn Heb “they will not” but the referent is far enough removed that it might be ambiguous.

[8:2]  ¹² tn Heb “like dung/manure on the surface of the ground.”

[16:6]  ¹³ sn These were apparently pagan customs associated with mourning (Isa 15:2; Jer 47:5) which were forbidden in Israel (Lev 19:8; 21:5) but apparently practiced anyway (Jer 41:5).

[22:19]  ¹⁴ sn A similar judgment against this ungodly king is pronounced by Jeremiah in 36:30. According to 2 Chr 36:6 he was bound over to be taken captive to Babylon but apparently died before he got there. According to the Jewish historian Josephus, Nebuchadnezzar ordered his body thrown outside the wall in fulfillment of this judgment. The Bible itself, however, does not tell us that.
