Compare all
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.

The Lord Condemns Ahab

17 aThen the word of the Lord came to bElijah the Tishbite, saying,  
18 “Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, awho lives in Samaria. There he is, in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it.  
19 You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Have you murdered and also taken possession?” ’ And you shall speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord: a“In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs shall lick your blood, even yours.” ’ ”  
20 So Ahab said to Elijah, a“Have you found me, O my enemy?” And he answered, “I have found you, because byou have sold yourself to do evil in the sight of the Lord:  
21 ‘Behold, aI will bring calamity on you. I will take away your bposterity, and will cut off from Ahab cevery male in Israel, both dbond and free.  
22 I will make your house like the house of aJeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of bBaasha the son of Ahijah, because of the provocation with which you have provoked Me to anger, and made Israel sin.’
