And he laid him down7901 upon his bed4296, and turned away5437 his face6440, and would eat0398 no bread3899. 21:5 But Jezebel0348 his wife0802 came0935 to him, and said1696 unto him, Why is thy spirit7307 so sad5620, that thou eatest0398 no bread3899? 21:6 And he said1696 unto her, Because I spake1696 unto Naboth5022 the Jezreelite3158, and said0559 unto him, Give5414 me thy vineyard3754 for money3701; or else, if it please2655 thee, I will give5414 thee {another} vineyard3754 for it: and he answered0559, I will not give5414 thee my vineyard3754. 21:7 And Jezebel0348 his wife0802 said0559 unto him, Dost thou now govern6213 the kingdom4410 of Israel3478? arise6965, {and} eat0398 bread3899, and let thine heart3820 be merry3190: I will give5414 thee the vineyard3754 of Naboth5022 the Jezreelite3158. 21:8 So she wrote3789 letters5612 in Ahab's0256 name8034, and sealed2856 {them} with his seal2368, and sent7971 the letters5612 unto the elders2205 and to the nobles2715 that {were} in his city5892, dwelling3427 with Naboth5022. 21:9 And she wrote3789 in the letters5612, saying0559, Proclaim7121 a fast6685, and set3427 Naboth5022 on high7218 among the people5971: 21:10 And set3427 two8147 men0582, sons1121 of Belial1100, before him, to bear witness5749 against him, saying0559, Thou didst blaspheme1288 God0430 and the king4428. And {then} carry him out3318, and stone5619 him, that he may die4191. 21:11 And the men0582 of his city5892, {even} the elders2205 and the nobles2715 who were the inhabitants3427 in his city5892, did6213 as Jezebel0348 had sent7971 unto them, {and} as it {was} written3789 in the letters5612 which she had sent7971 unto them. 21:12 They proclaimed7121 a fast6685, and set3427 Naboth5022 on high7218 among the people5971. 21:13 And there came0935 in two8147 men0582, children1121 of Belial1100, and sat3427 before him: and the men0582 of Belial1100 witnessed5749 against him, {even} against Naboth5022, in the presence of the people5971, saying0559, Naboth5022 did blaspheme1288 God0430 and the king4428. Then they carried him forth3318 out2351 of the city5892, and stoned5619 him with stones0068, that he died4191. 21:14 Then they sent7971 to Jezebel0348, saying0559, Naboth5022 is stoned5619, and is dead4191. 21:15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel0348 heard8085 that Naboth5022 was stoned5619, and was dead4191, that Jezebel0348 said0559 to Ahab0256, Arise6965, take possession3423 of the vineyard3754 of Naboth5022 the Jezreelite3158, which he refused3985 to give5414 thee for money3701: for Naboth5022 is not alive2416, but dead4191. 21:16 And it came to pass, when Ahab0256 heard8085 that Naboth5022 was dead4191, that Ahab0256 rose up6965 to go down3381 to the vineyard3754 of Naboth5022 the Jezreelite3158, to take possession3423 of it. 21:17 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came to Elijah0452 the Tishbite8664, saying0559, 21:18 Arise6965, go down3381 to meet7125 Ahab0256 king4428 of Israel3478, which {is} in Samaria8111: behold, {he is} in the vineyard3754 of Naboth5022, whither he is gone down3381 to possess3423 it. 21:19 And thou shalt speak1696 unto him, saying0559, Thus saith0559 the LORD3068, Hast thou killed7523, and also taken possession3423? And thou shalt speak1696 unto him, saying0559, Thus saith0559 the LORD3068, In the place4725 where dogs3611 licked3952 the blood1818 of Naboth5022 shall dogs3611 lick3952 thy blood1818, even thine. 21:20 And Ahab0256 said0559 to Elijah0452, Hast thou found4672 me, O mine enemy0341? And he answered0559, I have found4672 {thee}: because thou hast sold4376 thyself to work6213 evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD3068. 21:21 Behold, I will bring0935 evil7451 upon thee, and will take away1197 thy posterity0310, and will cut off3772 from Ahab0256 him that pisseth8366 against the wall7023, and him that is shut up6113 and left5800 in Israel3478, 21:22 And will make5414 thine house1004 like the house1004 of Jeroboam3379 the son1121 of Nebat5028, and like the house1004 of Baasha1201 the son1121 of Ahijah0281, for the provocation3708 wherewith thou hast provoked {me} to anger3707, and made Israel3478 to sin2398. 21:23 And of Jezebel0348 also spake1696 the LORD3068, saying0559, The dogs3611 shall eat0398 Jezebel0348 by the wall2426 of Jezreel3157. 21:24 Him that dieth4191 of Ahab0256 in the city5892 the dogs3611 shall eat0398; and him that dieth4191 in the field7704 shall the fowls5775 of the air8064 eat0398. 21:25 But there was none like unto Ahab0256, which did sell4376 himself to work6213 wickedness7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD3068, whom Jezebel0348 his wife0802 stirred up5496. 21:26 And he did very3966 abominably8581 in following3212-0310 idols1544, according to all {things} as did6213 the Amorites0567, whom the LORD3068 cast out3423 before6440 the children1121 of Israel3478. 21:27 And it came to pass, when Ahab0256 heard8085 those words1697, that he rent7167 his clothes0899, and put7760 sackcloth8242 upon his flesh1320, and fasted6684, and lay7901 in sackcloth8242, and went1980 softly0328. 21:28 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came to Elijah0452 the Tishbite8664, saying0559, 21:29 Seest7200 thou how Ahab0256 humbleth3665 himself before6440 me? because3282 he humbleth3665 himself before6440 me, I will not bring0935 the evil7451 in his days3117: {but} in his son's1121 days3117 will I bring0935 the evil7451 upon his house1004.
