1 Kings 21:7
Compare all
5 But aJezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, “Why is your spirit so sullen that you eat no food?”  
6 He said to her, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, ‘Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.’ And he answered, ‘I will not give you my vineyard.’ ”
7 Then Jezebel his wife said to him, “You now exercise authority over Israel! Arise, eat food, and let your heart be cheerful; I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”
8 And she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and the nobles who were dwelling in the city with Naboth.
9 She wrote in the letters, saying,
Proclaim a fast, and seat Naboth with high honor among the people;  
10 and seat two men, scoundrels, before him to bear witness against him, saying, “You have ablasphemed God and the king.” Then take him out, and bstone him, that he may die.  
11 So the men of his city, the elders and nobles who were inhabitants of his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them.
12 aThey proclaimed a fast, and seated Naboth with high honor among the people.  
13 And two men, scoundrels, came in and sat before him; and the scoundrels awitnessed against him, against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth has blasphemed God and the king!” bThen they took him outside the city and stoned him with stones, so that he died.  
14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned and is dead.”
15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, “Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.”
16 So it was, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab got up and went down to take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
