Chapter 21

1 AND it came to pass after these things that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard in Jezreel, beside the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

2 And Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, Give me your vineyard that I may have it for a vegetable garden, because it is near to my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to you, I will give you its worth in money.

3 And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid that I should give you the inheritance of my fathers.

4 And Ahab went to his house sad and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down on his bed and turned away his face and would eat no food.

5 But Jezebel his wife came to him and said to him, Why is your spirit so sad, that you refuse to eat food?

6 And 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 please you, I will give you another vineyard for it, better than it; but he answered, I will not give you my vineyard.

7 And Jezebel his wife said to him, Are you really king over Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry; I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.

8 So she wrote a letter in Ahab's name and sealed it with his ring, and sent the letter to the elders and to the nobles who dwelt in the city with Naboth.

9 And she wrote in the letter, saying, Proclaim a fast and set Naboth on high among the people;

10 Then bring two wicked men and set them opposite him, and let them testify against him, saying, Naboth has reviled God and the king. And then take him out, and stone him, that he may die.

11 And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who dwelt in the city with Naboth, did as Jezebel had sent to them and as it was written in the letter which she had sent to them.

12 They proclaimed a fast and set Naboth on high among the people.

13 And they brought two wicked men, and seated them opposite him; and the wicked men witnessed against Naboth, saying, Naboth reviled God and the king. Then they took him outside the city and stoned him, so that he died.

14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth has been stoned, and he is dead.

15 And when Jezebel heard that Naboth was dead, 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 And when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.

17 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who is in Samaria; behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, for he has gone there to possess it.

19 And you shall say to him, Thus says the LORD: Behold, you have killed, and, behold, you have also taken possession; thus says the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick your blood, even yours.

20 And Ahab said to Elijah, Have you found me, O my enemy? And he answered, I have found you because you have exalted yourself to do evil in the sight of the LORD.

21 Behold, I will bring evil upon you, and will pluck one by one your posterity, and will cut off from Ahab every male child and every one who has authority in governing Israel,

22 And I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah for the provocation wherewith you have provoked me to anger and made Israel to sin.

23 And of Jezebel also the LORD spoke, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel in the inheritance which is in Jezreel.

24 Anyone belonging to Ahab who dies in the city shall the dogs eat; and anyone who dies in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.

25 But there was none like Ahab, who thought to do evil in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife incited.

26 And he did very abominably in following idols, just as the Amorites had done, whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.

27 And when Ahab heard these words, he tore his clothes and put sackcloth upon his body and fasted and lay in sackcloth and walked barefooted.

28 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

29 Have you seen how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Because he has humbled 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.

Chapter 21

1 And it came1961 to pass after310 these428 things,1697 that Naboth5022 the Jezreelite3158 had1961 a vineyard,3754 which834 was in Jezreel,3157 hard681 by the palace1964 of Ahab256 king4428 of Samaria.8111

2 And Ahab256 spoke1696 to Naboth,5022 saying,559 Give5414 me your vineyard,3754 that I may have1961 it for a garden1588 of herbs,3419 because3588 it is near7138 to my house:1004 and I will give5414 you for it a better2896 vineyard3754 than it; or,176 if518 it seem1961 5869 good2896 to you, I will give5414 you the worth4242 of it in money.3701

3 And Naboth5022 said559 to Ahab,256 The LORD3068 forbid2486 it me, that I should give5414 the inheritance5159 of my fathers1 to you.

4 And Ahab256 came935 into413 his house1004 heavy5620 and displeased2198 because5921 of the word1697 which834 Naboth5022 the Jezreelite3158 had spoken1696 to him: for he had said,559 I will not give5414 you the inheritance5159 of my fathers.1 And he laid7901 him down7901 on his bed,4296 and turned5437 away his face,6440 and would eat398 no3808 bread.3899

5 But Jezebel348 his wife802 came935 to him, and said1696 to him, Why4100 is your spirit7307 so2088 sad,5620 that you eat398 no369 bread?3899

6 And he said1696 to her, Because3588 I spoke1696 to Naboth5022 the Jezreelite,3158 and said559 to him, Give5414 me your vineyard3754 for money;3701 or else, if518 it please2655 you, I will give5414 you another vineyard3754 for it: and he answered,559 I will not give5414 you my vineyard.3754

7 And Jezebel348 his wife802 said559 to him, Do you now6258 govern6213 the kingdom4410 of Israel?3478 arise,6965 and eat398 bread,3899 and let your heart3820 be merry:3190 I will give5414 you the vineyard3754 of Naboth5022 the Jezreelite.3158

8 So she wrote3789 letters5612 in Ahab's256 name,8034 and sealed2856 them with his seal,2368 and sent7971 the letters5612 to the elders2205 and to the nobles2715 that were in his city,5892 dwelling3427 with Naboth.5022

9 And she wrote3789 in the letters,5612 saying,559 Proclaim7121 a fast,6685 and set3427 Naboth5022 on high7218 among the people:5971

10 And set3427 two8147 men,582 sons1121 of Belial,1100 before5048 him, to bear5749 witness5749 against him, saying,559 You did blaspheme1288 God430 and the king.4428 And then carry3318 him out, and stone5619 him, that he may die.4191

11 And the men582 of his city,5892 even the elders2205 and the nobles2715 who834 were the inhabitants3427 in his city,5892 did6213 as Jezebel348 had sent7971 to them, and as it was written3789 in the letters5612 which834 she had sent7971 to them.

12 They proclaimed7121 a fast,6685 and set3427 Naboth5022 on high7218 among the people.5971

13 And there came935 in two8147 men,582 children1121 of Belial,1100 and sat3427 before5048 him: and the men582 of Belial1100 witnessed579 against him, even against Naboth,5022 in the presence5048 of the people,5971 saying, Naboth5022 did blaspheme1288 God430 and the king.4428 Then they carried3318 him forth3318 out of the city,5892 and stoned5619 him with stones,68 that he died.4191

14 Then they sent7971 to Jezebel,348 saying,559 Naboth5022 is stoned,5619 and is dead.4191

15 And it came1961 to pass, when Jezebel348 heard8085 that Naboth5022 was stoned,5619 and was dead,4191 that Jezebel348 said559 to Ahab,256 Arise,6965 take3423 possession3423 of the vineyard3754 of Naboth5022 the Jezreelite,3158 which834 he refused3985 to give5414 you for money:3701 for Naboth5022 is not alive,2416 but dead.4191

16 And it came1961 to pass, when Ahab256 heard8085 that Naboth5022 was dead,4191 that Ahab256 rose6965 up to go3381 down3381 to the vineyard3754 of Naboth5022 the Jezreelite,3158 to take3423 possession3423 of it.

17 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to Elijah452 the Tishbite,8664 saying,559

18 Arise,6965 go3381 down3381 to meet7125 Ahab256 king4428 of Israel,3478 which834 is in Samaria:8111 behold,2009 he is in the vineyard3754 of Naboth,5022 where834 8033 he is gone3381 down3381 to possess3423 it.

19 And you shall speak1696 to him, saying,559 Thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 Have you killed,7523 and also1571 taken possession?3423 And you shall speak1696 to him, saying,559 Thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 In the place4725 where834 dogs3611 licked3952 the blood1818 of Naboth5022 shall dogs3611 lick3952 your blood,1818 even1571 yours.859

20 And Ahab256 said559 to Elijah,452 Have you found4672 me, O my enemy?341 And he answered,559 I have found4672 you: because3282 you have sold4376 yourself to work6213 evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD.3068

21 Behold,2005 I will bring935 evil7451 on you, and will take1197 away your posterity,310 and will cut3772 off from Ahab256 him that urinates8366 against the wall,7023 and him that is shut6113 up and left5800 in Israel,3478

22 And will make5414 your house1004 like the house1004 of Jeroboam3379 the son1121 of Nebat,5028 and like the house1004 of Baasha1201 the son1121 of Ahijah,281 for the provocation3708 with which834 you have provoked me to anger,3707 and made Israel3478 to sin.2398

23 And of Jezebel348 also1571 spoke1696 the LORD,3068 saying,559 The dogs3611 shall eat398 Jezebel348 by the wall2426 of Jezreel.3157

24 Him that dies4191 of Ahab256 in the city5892 the dogs3611 shall eat;398 and him that dies4191 in the field7704 shall the fowls5775 of the air8064 eat.398

25 But there was none3808 like to Ahab,256 which834 did sell4376 himself to work6213 wickedness7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD,3068 whom834 Jezebel348 his wife802 stirred5496 up.

26 And he did very3966 abominably8581 in following3212 310 idols,1544 according to all3605 things as did6213 the Amorites,567 whom834 the LORD3068 cast3423 out before6440 the children1121 of Israel.3478

27 And it came1961 to pass, when Ahab256 heard8085 those428 words,1697 that he rent7167 his clothes,899 and put7760 sackcloth8242 on his flesh,1320 and fasted,6684 and lay7901 in sackcloth,8242 and went1980 softly.328

28 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to Elijah452 the Tishbite,8664 saying,559

29 See7200 you how3588 Ahab256 humbles3665 himself before6440 me? because3282 3588 he humbles3665 himself before6440 me, I will not bring935 the evil7451 in his days:3117 but in his son's1121 days3117 will I bring935 the evil7451 on his house.1004

1 AND it came to pass after these things that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard in Jezreel, beside the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

1 And it came1961 to pass after310 these428 things,1697 that Naboth5022 the Jezreelite3158 had1961 a vineyard,3754 which834 was in Jezreel,3157 hard681 by the palace1964 of Ahab256 king4428 of Samaria.8111

2 And Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, Give me your vineyard that I may have it for a vegetable garden, because it is near to my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to you, I will give you its worth in money.

2 And Ahab256 spoke1696 to Naboth,5022 saying,559 Give5414 me your vineyard,3754 that I may have1961 it for a garden1588 of herbs,3419 because3588 it is near7138 to my house:1004 and I will give5414 you for it a better2896 vineyard3754 than it; or,176 if518 it seem1961 5869 good2896 to you, I will give5414 you the worth4242 of it in money.3701

3 And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid that I should give you the inheritance of my fathers.

3 And Naboth5022 said559 to Ahab,256 The LORD3068 forbid2486 it me, that I should give5414 the inheritance5159 of my fathers1 to you.

4 And Ahab went to his house sad and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down on his bed and turned away his face and would eat no food.

4 And Ahab256 came935 into413 his house1004 heavy5620 and displeased2198 because5921 of the word1697 which834 Naboth5022 the Jezreelite3158 had spoken1696 to him: for he had said,559 I will not give5414 you the inheritance5159 of my fathers.1 And he laid7901 him down7901 on his bed,4296 and turned5437 away his face,6440 and would eat398 no3808 bread.3899

5 But Jezebel his wife came to him and said to him, Why is your spirit so sad, that you refuse to eat food?

5 But Jezebel348 his wife802 came935 to him, and said1696 to him, Why4100 is your spirit7307 so2088 sad,5620 that you eat398 no369 bread?3899

6 And 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 please you, I will give you another vineyard for it, better than it; but he answered, I will not give you my vineyard.

6 And he said1696 to her, Because3588 I spoke1696 to Naboth5022 the Jezreelite,3158 and said559 to him, Give5414 me your vineyard3754 for money;3701 or else, if518 it please2655 you, I will give5414 you another vineyard3754 for it: and he answered,559 I will not give5414 you my vineyard.3754

7 And Jezebel his wife said to him, Are you really king over Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry; I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.

7 And Jezebel348 his wife802 said559 to him, Do you now6258 govern6213 the kingdom4410 of Israel?3478 arise,6965 and eat398 bread,3899 and let your heart3820 be merry:3190 I will give5414 you the vineyard3754 of Naboth5022 the Jezreelite.3158

8 So she wrote a letter in Ahab's name and sealed it with his ring, and sent the letter to the elders and to the nobles who dwelt in the city with Naboth.

8 So she wrote3789 letters5612 in Ahab's256 name,8034 and sealed2856 them with his seal,2368 and sent7971 the letters5612 to the elders2205 and to the nobles2715 that were in his city,5892 dwelling3427 with Naboth.5022

9 And she wrote in the letter, saying, Proclaim a fast and set Naboth on high among the people;

9 And she wrote3789 in the letters,5612 saying,559 Proclaim7121 a fast,6685 and set3427 Naboth5022 on high7218 among the people:5971

10 Then bring two wicked men and set them opposite him, and let them testify against him, saying, Naboth has reviled God and the king. And then take him out, and stone him, that he may die.

10 And set3427 two8147 men,582 sons1121 of Belial,1100 before5048 him, to bear5749 witness5749 against him, saying,559 You did blaspheme1288 God430 and the king.4428 And then carry3318 him out, and stone5619 him, that he may die.4191

11 And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who dwelt in the city with Naboth, did as Jezebel had sent to them and as it was written in the letter which she had sent to them.

11 And the men582 of his city,5892 even the elders2205 and the nobles2715 who834 were the inhabitants3427 in his city,5892 did6213 as Jezebel348 had sent7971 to them, and as it was written3789 in the letters5612 which834 she had sent7971 to them.

12 They proclaimed a fast and set Naboth on high among the people.

12 They proclaimed7121 a fast,6685 and set3427 Naboth5022 on high7218 among the people.5971

13 And they brought two wicked men, and seated them opposite him; and the wicked men witnessed against Naboth, saying, Naboth reviled God and the king. Then they took him outside the city and stoned him, so that he died.

13 And there came935 in two8147 men,582 children1121 of Belial,1100 and sat3427 before5048 him: and the men582 of Belial1100 witnessed579 against him, even against Naboth,5022 in the presence5048 of the people,5971 saying, Naboth5022 did blaspheme1288 God430 and the king.4428 Then they carried3318 him forth3318 out of the city,5892 and stoned5619 him with stones,68 that he died.4191

14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth has been stoned, and he is dead.

14 Then they sent7971 to Jezebel,348 saying,559 Naboth5022 is stoned,5619 and is dead.4191

15 And when Jezebel heard that Naboth was dead, 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.

15 And it came1961 to pass, when Jezebel348 heard8085 that Naboth5022 was stoned,5619 and was dead,4191 that Jezebel348 said559 to Ahab,256 Arise,6965 take3423 possession3423 of the vineyard3754 of Naboth5022 the Jezreelite,3158 which834 he refused3985 to give5414 you for money:3701 for Naboth5022 is not alive,2416 but dead.4191

16 And when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.

16 And it came1961 to pass, when Ahab256 heard8085 that Naboth5022 was dead,4191 that Ahab256 rose6965 up to go3381 down3381 to the vineyard3754 of Naboth5022 the Jezreelite,3158 to take3423 possession3423 of it.

17 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

17 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to Elijah452 the Tishbite,8664 saying,559

18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who is in Samaria; behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, for he has gone there to possess it.

18 Arise,6965 go3381 down3381 to meet7125 Ahab256 king4428 of Israel,3478 which834 is in Samaria:8111 behold,2009 he is in the vineyard3754 of Naboth,5022 where834 8033 he is gone3381 down3381 to possess3423 it.

19 And you shall say to him, Thus says the LORD: Behold, you have killed, and, behold, you have also taken possession; thus says the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick your blood, even yours.

19 And you shall speak1696 to him, saying,559 Thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 Have you killed,7523 and also1571 taken possession?3423 And you shall speak1696 to him, saying,559 Thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 In the place4725 where834 dogs3611 licked3952 the blood1818 of Naboth5022 shall dogs3611 lick3952 your blood,1818 even1571 yours.859

20 And Ahab said to Elijah, Have you found me, O my enemy? And he answered, I have found you because you have exalted yourself to do evil in the sight of the LORD.

20 And Ahab256 said559 to Elijah,452 Have you found4672 me, O my enemy?341 And he answered,559 I have found4672 you: because3282 you have sold4376 yourself to work6213 evil7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD.3068

21 Behold, I will bring evil upon you, and will pluck one by one your posterity, and will cut off from Ahab every male child and every one who has authority in governing Israel,

21 Behold,2005 I will bring935 evil7451 on you, and will take1197 away your posterity,310 and will cut3772 off from Ahab256 him that urinates8366 against the wall,7023 and him that is shut6113 up and left5800 in Israel,3478

22 And I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah for the provocation wherewith you have provoked me to anger and made Israel to sin.

22 And will make5414 your house1004 like the house1004 of Jeroboam3379 the son1121 of Nebat,5028 and like the house1004 of Baasha1201 the son1121 of Ahijah,281 for the provocation3708 with which834 you have provoked me to anger,3707 and made Israel3478 to sin.2398

23 And of Jezebel also the LORD spoke, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel in the inheritance which is in Jezreel.

23 And of Jezebel348 also1571 spoke1696 the LORD,3068 saying,559 The dogs3611 shall eat398 Jezebel348 by the wall2426 of Jezreel.3157

24 Anyone belonging to Ahab who dies in the city shall the dogs eat; and anyone who dies in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.

24 Him that dies4191 of Ahab256 in the city5892 the dogs3611 shall eat;398 and him that dies4191 in the field7704 shall the fowls5775 of the air8064 eat.398

25 But there was none like Ahab, who thought to do evil in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife incited.

25 But there was none3808 like to Ahab,256 which834 did sell4376 himself to work6213 wickedness7451 in the sight5869 of the LORD,3068 whom834 Jezebel348 his wife802 stirred5496 up.

26 And he did very abominably in following idols, just as the Amorites had done, whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.

26 And he did very3966 abominably8581 in following3212 310 idols,1544 according to all3605 things as did6213 the Amorites,567 whom834 the LORD3068 cast3423 out before6440 the children1121 of Israel.3478

27 And when Ahab heard these words, he tore his clothes and put sackcloth upon his body and fasted and lay in sackcloth and walked barefooted.

27 And it came1961 to pass, when Ahab256 heard8085 those428 words,1697 that he rent7167 his clothes,899 and put7760 sackcloth8242 on his flesh,1320 and fasted,6684 and lay7901 in sackcloth,8242 and went1980 softly.328

28 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

28 And the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 to Elijah452 the Tishbite,8664 saying,559

29 Have you seen how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Because he has humbled 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.

29 See7200 you how3588 Ahab256 humbles3665 himself before6440 me? because3282 3588 he humbles3665 himself before6440 me, I will not bring935 the evil7451 in his days:3117 but in his son's1121 days3117 will I bring935 the evil7451 on his house.1004
