1 Kings 21:18

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.’
