1: And it came to passH1961 afterH0310 things,H1697 theseH0428 a vineyard,H3754 hadH1961 [that] NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158 that [was]H0834 in Jezreel,H3157 next toH0681 the palaceH1964 of AhabH0256 kingH4428 of Samaria.H8111
2: So spokeH1696 AhabH0256 toH0413 Naboth,H5022 saying,H0559 GiveH5414 -H0853 your vineyard,H3754 that may have itH1961 for a gardenH1588 vegetable,H3419 becauseH3588 it [is]H1931 nearH7138 next toH0681 my house,H1004 and I will giveH5414 for itH8478 a vineyardH3754 betterH2896 than itH4480 [Or] ifH0518 it seems goodH2896 to you,H5869 I will giveH5414 in moneyH3701 worthH4242 of this [one].H2088
3: But saidH0559 NabothH5022 toH0413 Ahab,H0256 forbidH2486 YahwehH3068 that I should giveH5414 -H0853 the inheritanceH5159 of my fathersH0001
4: So wentH0935 AhabH0256 intoH0413 his houseH1004 sullenH5620 and displeasedH2198 becauseH5921 of the wordH1697 whichH0834 had spokenH1696 to himH0413 NabothH5022 the JezreeliteH3158 for he had said,H0559 notH3808 I will giveH5414 -H0853 the inheritanceH5159 of my fathers.H0001 And he lay downH7901 onH5921 his bed,H4296 and turned awayH5437 -H0853 his face,H6440 and noH3808 would eatH0398 food.H3899
5: But cameH0935 to himH0413 JezebelH0348 his wifeH0802 and saidH1696 to himH0413 whatH4100 [is] this [that]H2088 your spiritH7307 [is] so sullen,H5620 that noH0369 you eatH0398 food?H3899
6: and he saidH1696 to herH0413 becauseH3588 I spokeH1696 toH0413 NabothH5022 the Jezreelite,H3158 and saidH0559 GiveH5414 -H0853 your vineyardH3754 for money-H3701 or elseH0176 ifH0518 it pleasesH2655 you,H0859 I will giveH5414 [another] vineyardH3754 for itH8478 and He answered,H0559 notH3808 I will giveH5414 -H0853 my vineyard.H3754
7: And saidH0559 to himH0413 JezebelH0348 his wifeH0802 YouH0859 nowH6258 exerciseH6213 authorityH4410 overH5921 Israel?H3478 Arise,H6965 eatH0398 food,H3899 and let be cheerful-H3190 your heartH3820 IH0589 will giveH5414 -H0853 the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022 the Jezreelite.H3158
8: And she wroteH3789 lettersH5612 in name,H8034 of AhabH0256 and sealed [them],H2368 with his sealH2856 and sentH7971 the lettersH5612 toH0413 the eldersH2205 andH0413 the noblesH2715 whoH0834 in the city,H5892 [were] dwellingH3427 withH0854 Naboth.H5022
9: And she wroteH3789 in the letters,H5612 saying,H0559 ProclaimH7121 a fast,H6685 and seatH3427 -H0853 NabothH5022 with high honorH7218 the among people-H5971
10: and seatH3427 twoH8147 menH0582 sonsH1121 scoundrels,H1100 before himH5048 to bear witness against himH5749 saying,H0559 You have cursedH1288 GodH0430 and the king.H4428 And [Then] take him out,H3318 and stone himH5619 that he may die.H4191
11: So didH6213 the menH0376 of his city,H5892 the eldersH2205 and noblesH2715 whoH0834 were inhabitantsH3427 of his city,H5892 asH0834 had sentH7971 to themH0413 JezebelH0348 asH0834 it [was] writtenH3789 in the lettersH5612 whichH0834 she had sentH7971 to them.H0413
12: They proclaimedH7121 a fast,H6685 and seatedH3427 -H0853 NabothH5022 with high honorH7218 the among people.H5971
13: And came inH0935 twoH8147 men,H0376 sonsH1121 scoundrels,H1100 and satH3427 before himH5048 and witnessed against himH5749 theH0376 scoundrelsH1100 againstH0853 Naboth,H5022 beforeH5048 the people,H5971 saying,H0559 has cursedH1288 NabothH5022 GodH0430 and the king.H4428 And they took himH3318 outsideH2351 the city,H5892 and stoned himH5619 with stones,H0068 so that he died.H4191
14: And they sentH7971 toH0413 Jezebel,H0348 saying,H0559 has been stoned,H5619 NabothH5022 and is dead.H4191
15: And it came to pass,H1961 when heardH8085 JezebelH0348 thatH3588 had been stoned,H5619 NabothH5022 and was dead,H4191 that saidH0559 JezebelH0348 toH0413 Ahab,H0256 Arise,H6965 take possessionH3423 -H0853 of the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022 the Jezreelite,H3158 whichH0834 he refusedH3985 to giveH5414 for money-H3701 forH3588 notH0369 NabothH5022 is alive,H2416 butH3588 dead.H4191
16: So it was,H1961 when heardH8085 AhabH0256 thatH3588 was dead,H4191 NabothH5022 that got upH6965 AhabH0256 [and] went downH3381 untoH0413 the vineyardH3754 of NabothH5022 the Jezreelite,H3158 to take possession.H3423
17: and cameH1961 the wordH1697 of YahwehH3068 toH0413 ElijahH0452 the Tishbite,H8664 saying,H0559
18: Arise,H6965 go downH3381 to meetH7125 AhabH0256 kingH4428 of Israel,H3478 who [lives]H0834 in Samaria-H8111 there [he is],H2009 in the vineyardH3754 of Naboth,H5022 whereH0834 he has gone downH3381 thereH8033 to take possession of it.H3423
19: And You shall speakH1696 to himH0413 saying,H0559 thusH3541 saysH0559 Yahweh,H3068 have you murdered,H7523 and alsoH1571 taken possession?H3423 and you shall speakH1696 to himH0413 saying,H0559 thusH3541 saysH0559 Yahweh,H3068 in the placeH4725 whereH0834 lickedH3952 dogsH3611 -H0853 the bloodH1818 of NabothH5022 shall lickH3952 dogsH3611 -H0853 your blood,H1818 evenH1571 you.H0859
20: So saidH0559 AhabH0256 toH0413 Elijah,H0452 have you found meH4672 my enemy?H0341 and he answered,H0559 I have found [you]H4672 becauseH3282 you have sold yourselfH4376 to doH6213 evilH7451 in the sight ofH5869 Yahweh.H3068
21: BeholdH2005 I will bringH0935 on youH0413 calamityH7451 and I will take awayH1197 your posterity,H0310 and will cut offH3772 from AhabH0256 every maleH8366 wall,H7023 and both bondH6113 and freeH5800 in Israel,H3478
22: and I will makeH5414 -H0853 your houseH1004 like the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 sonH1121 of Nebat,H5028 and like the houseH1004 of BaashaH1201 sonH1121 of Ahijah,H0281 becauseH0413 of the provocationH3708 with whichH0834 you have provoked [Me] to anger,H3707 and made sinH2398 -H0853 Israel.H3478
23: And alsoH1571 concerning JezebelH0348 spokeH1696 Yahweh,H3068 saying,H0559 the dogsH3611 shall eatH0398 -H0853 JezebelH0348 by the wallH2428 of Jezreel.H3157
24: Whoever dies andH4191 belongs to AhabH0256 in the cityH5892 shall eat-H0398 the dogsH3611 and whoever diesH4191 in the fieldH7704 shall eatH0398 the birdsH5775 of the air.H8064
25: ButH7535 noH3808 there was oneH1961 like Ahab,H0256 whoH0834 sold himselfH4376 to doH6213 wickednessH7451 in the sightH5869 of Yahweh,H3068 becauseH0834 stirred up.H5496 HimH0853 JezebelH0348 his wife.H0802
26: And he behaved abominablyH8581 veryH3966 in followingH1980 -H0310 idols,H1544 according to allH3605 [that]H0834 had doneH6213 the Amorites,H0567 whomH0834 had cast outH3423 YahwehH3068 beforeH6440 the sonsH1121 of Israel.H3478
27: So it was,H1961 when heardH8085 AhabH0256 -H0853 words,H1697 theseH0428 that he toreH7167 his clothes,H0899 and putH7760 sackclothH8242 onH5921 his body,H1320 and fasted,H6684 and layH7901 in sackcloth,H8242 and wentH1980 about mourning.H0328
28: And cameH1961 the wordH1697 of YahwehH3068 toH0413 ElijahH0452 the Tishbite,H8664 saying,H0559
29: SeeH7200 howH3588 has humbled himselfH3665 AhabH0256 before MeH6440 becauseH3282 becauseH3588 he has humbled himselfH3665 before MeH6440 notH3808 I will bringH0935 the calamityH7451 in his days,H3117 in the daysH3117 of his sonH1121 I will bringH0935 the calamityH7451 onH5921 his house.H1004
