King James Version
And it cometh
to pass ,
after these things, a
vineyard
hath
been
to
Naboth the Jezreelite, that
`is'
in Jezreel, near
the palace of Ahab king of Samaria ,
And it came
to pass after these things, that
Naboth the Jezreelite had
a
vineyard
, which
was
in Jezreel, hard
by
the palace of Ahab king of Samaria .
and Ahab speaketh
unto Naboth, saying, `
Give to
me thy vineyard, and
it is
to
me
for a garden of green
herbs, for
it `
is '
near by
my house ,
and I give to
thee in
its
stead
a better vineyard than it; if good in
thine
eyes
, I give to
thee silver
--
its
price
. '
And Ahab spake
unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that
I
may
have
it for a garden of herbs, because
it is near unto
my house :
and I will
give thee for
it
a better vineyard than it; or,
if it
seem
good to
thee
, I will
give thee the
worth
of
it
in
money
.
And Naboth saith
unto
Ahab, `Far
be
it from
me, by
Jehovah,
my
giving
the inheritance of my fathers to
thee ;'
And Naboth said
to
Ahab, The
LORD
forbid
it me, that
I
should
give
the inheritance of my fathers unto
thee .
and Ahab cometh
in
unto
his house ,
sulky
and wroth,
because of the word that
Naboth the Jezreelite hath
spoken unto
him when
he saith
, `
I do
not give to
thee the inheritance of my fathers ,'
and he lieth
down on
his bed, and turneth
round
his face, and hath
not
eaten
bread.
And Ahab came
into
his house heavy
and displeased
because of the word which
Naboth the Jezreelite had
spoken to
him :
for
he had
said
, I will
not give thee the inheritance of my fathers .
And he laid
him
down upon
his bed, and turned
away
his face, and would
eat
no
bread.
And
Jezebel his wife cometh
in
unto
him, and speaketh
unto him, `What
`
is '
this?
--
thy spirit sulky
, and
thou art
not
eating
bread !'
But
Jezebel his wife came
to
him, and said
unto him, Why
is thy spirit so
sad
, that
thou eatest
no
bread ?
And he saith
unto her, `
Because I speak
unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and say
to
him, Give to
me thy vineyard for money ,
or if thou
desire
, I give to
thee a
vineyard in
its
stead;
and he saith
, I do
not give to
thee my vineyard. '
And he said
unto her, Because I spake
unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said
unto
him, Give me thy vineyard for money ;
or else,
if it
please
thee
, I will
give thee another
vineyard for
it:
and he answered
, I will
not give thee my vineyard.
And Jezebel his wife saith
unto him, `
Thou now dost
execute
rule
over
Israel !
rise
, eat bread, and let thy
heart be glad,
--
I do
give to
thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite. '
And Jezebel his wife said
unto him, Dost
thou now govern
the
kingdom
of
Israel ?
arise
, and
eat bread, and let thine
heart be merry:
I will
give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
And
she writeth
letters in the
name of
Ahab
, and sealeth
with his seal, and sendeth
the letters unto the elders ,
and unto
the freemen,
who
are
in his city, those
dwelling with Naboth ,
So
she wrote
letters in Ahab's
name, and sealed
them
with his seal, and sent
the letters unto the elders and to
the nobles
that
were
in his city, dwelling with Naboth .
and she writeth
in the letters, saying, `
Proclaim a fast, and cause
Naboth to
sit
at
the
head
of
the people ,
And she wrote
in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set
Naboth on
high
among
the people :
and cause
two men --
sons of worthlessness
--
to
sit
over-against
him, and
they
testify
of
him, saying, Thou hast
blessed
God and Melech;
and they
have
brought
him out, and stoned
him, and
he dieth
. '
And set
two men ,
sons of Belial,
before
him, to
bear
witness
against
him, saying, Thou didst
blaspheme
God and the
king.
And then
carry
him out, and stone
him, that
he may
die
.
And the men of his city, the elders and the freemen
who are
dwelling
in his city, do
as Jezebel hath
sent unto them, as written in the letters that
she sent unto them ,
And the men of his city, even
the elders and the nobles
who were
the
inhabitants
in his city, did
as Jezebel had
sent unto them, and
as it
was
written in the letters which
she had
sent unto them .
they have
proclaimed a fast, and caused
Naboth to
sit
at
the
head
of
the people ,
They proclaimed a fast, and set
Naboth on
high
among
the people .
and two men --
sons
of worthlessness
--
come
in
, and sit
over-against
him ,
and the men of worthlessness
testify
of
him, even Naboth, before
the people, saying, `
Naboth blessed
God and Melech;'
and
they take
him out to
the
outside
of the city, and stone
him with stones, and
he dieth;
And there
came
in
two men ,
children
of Belial
, and sat
before
him :
and the men of Belial
witnessed
against
him, even against
Naboth, in
the presence
of
the
people, saying, Naboth did
blaspheme
God and the
king.
Then
they carried
him forth
out of the city, and stoned
him with stones, that
he died.
and
they send
unto
Jezebel, saying, `
Naboth was
stoned, and is dead. '
Then
they sent
to
Jezebel, saying, Naboth is
stoned, and is dead.
And it cometh
to pass, at
Jezebel's
hearing
that Naboth hath
been
stoned, and is
dead, that Jezebel saith
unto
Ahab, `Rise
, possess
the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, that
he refused to give to
thee for money ,
for Naboth is not alive but dead. '
And it came
to pass, when
Jezebel
heard
that Naboth was
stoned, and was
dead, that Jezebel said
to
Ahab, Arise
, take
possession
of
the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which
he refused to give thee for money :
for Naboth is not alive ,
but dead.
And it cometh
to pass, at
Ahab's
hearing
that Naboth is
dead, that Ahab riseth
to go down unto
the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to possess
it.
And it came
to pass, when
Ahab
heard
that Naboth was
dead, that Ahab rose
up
to go down to
the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take
possession
of
it.
And the word of Jehovah
is
unto
Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
And the word of the
LORD
came
to
Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
`Rise
, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who
`
is '
in Samaria ,
--
lo
, in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he hath
gone down to possess it ,
Arise
, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which
is in Samaria :
behold
, he
is
in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is
gone down to possess it .
and thou hast
spoken
unto him, saying, Thus said
Jehovah
, Hast thou murdered
, and also possessed
? and thou hast
spoken
unto him, saying, Thus said
Jehovah
, In the place where the
dogs licked the blood of Naboth ,
do
the
dogs lick thy blood, even thine. '
And thou shalt
speak
unto him, saying, Thus saith
the
LORD
, Hast thou killed
, and also taken
possession
? And thou shalt
speak
unto him, saying, Thus saith
the
LORD
, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall
dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
And Ahab saith
unto
Elijah, `
Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? '
and he saith
, `
I have found --
because of
thy
selling
thyself to do
the
evil thing
in the eyes
of Jehovah;
And Ahab said
to
Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered
, I have found thee:
because thou
hast
sold
thyself to work
evil in the sight
of the
LORD.
lo
, I am
bringing
in
unto
thee
evil, and have
taken
away thy posterity, and cut off to
Ahab those
sitting
on
the wall, and restrained,
and left ,
in Israel,
Behold
, I will
bring
evil upon
thee
, and will
take
away thy posterity, and will
cut off from
Ahab him
that
pisseth
against
the wall, and him
that
is
shut
up
and left in Israel,
and given
up
thy
house like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha son of Ahijah, for the provocation with
which
thou hast provoked `
Me '
, and dost
cause
Israel to sin.
And will
make
thine
house like the house of Jeroboam the
son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the
son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith
thou hast provoked me to
anger
, and made
Israel to sin.
`
And also
of Jezebel hath
Jehovah
spoken
, saying, The dogs do
eat Jezebel in
the bulwark
of Jezreel ;
And of Jezebel also
spake
the
LORD
, saying, The dogs shall
eat Jezebel by
the wall
of Jezreel .
him who
dieth of Ahab in a
city do
the dogs eat ,
and him who
dieth in a
field do
fowl
of the heavens
eat ;
Him that
dieth of Ahab in the
city the dogs shall
eat ;
and him that
dieth in the
field shall
the
fowls
of the air
eat .
surely
there hath
none been
like Ahab, who
sold
himself to do
the
evil
thing
in the eyes
of Jehovah
, whom Jezebel his wife hath
moved,
But
there was
none like unto
Ahab, which
did
sell
himself to work
wickedness
in the sight
of the
LORD
, whom Jezebel his wife stirred
up.
and he doth
very abominably to
go
after
the
idols, according to all that
the
Amorite
did whom Jehovah
dispossessed
from
the presence
of
the sons
of Israel. '
And he did
very abominably in
following
idols, according to all things
as
did the
Amorites,
whom the LORD
cast
out
before
the children
of Israel.
And it cometh
to pass, at
Ahab's
hearing
these
words, that he rendeth
his garments
, and putteth
sackcloth on
his flesh, and fasteth
, and lieth
in sackcloth, and goeth
gently
.
And it came
to pass, when
Ahab
heard
those
words, that he rent
his clothes
, and put
sackcloth upon
his flesh, and fasted
, and lay
in sackcloth, and went
softly
.
And the word of Jehovah
is
unto
Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
And the word of the
LORD
came
to
Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
`Hast
thou seen
that
Ahab hath
been
humbled
before Me? because that
he hath
been
humbled
before Me, I bring
not in
the evil in his days ;
in the
days
of
his son
I bring in
the evil on
his house. '
Seest
thou how
Ahab humbleth
himself
before me? because he humbleth
himself
before me, I will
not bring
the evil in his days :
but
in his son's
days
will
I bring the evil upon
his house.
