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. Ahab Naboth Jezreel Samaria

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. Ahab Naboth

And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee. Ahab Naboth God

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. Ahab Naboth Jezreel

¶ But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread? Jezebel

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. Naboth Jezreel

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. Naboth Jezebel Jacob Jezreel

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. Ahab Naboth

And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people: Naboth

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. God

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. Jezebel

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

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. Naboth God

Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead. Naboth Jezebel

¶ 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. Ahab Naboth Jezebel Jezreel

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. Prophecies of Elijah Ahab God Elijah
