1Kings:21:2-16




updv@1Kings:21:2 @ And Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near to my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it: or, if it seems good to you, I will give you the worth of it in money.

updv@1Kings:21:3 @ And Naboth said to Ahab, Yahweh forbid it of me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you.

updv@1Kings:21:4 @ 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 you the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.

updv@1Kings:21:5 @ But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, Why is your spirit so sad, that you eat no bread?

updv@1Kings:21:6 @ And he said to her, Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, Give me your vineyard for money; otherwise, if it pleases you, I will give you [another] vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give you my vineyard.

updv@1Kings:21:7 @ And Jezebel his wife said to him, Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry: I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.

updv@1Kings:21:8 @ So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who were in his city, [and] that dwelt with Naboth.

updv@1Kings:21:9 @ And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:

updv@1Kings:21:10 @ and set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them bear witness against him, saying, You cursed God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him to death.

updv@1Kings:21:11 @ And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who dwelt in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, according to as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them.

updv@1Kings:21:12 @ They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

updv@1Kings:21:13 @ And the two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him: and the base fellows bore witness against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth cursed God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him to death with stones.

updv@1Kings:21:14 @ Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.

updv@1Kings:21:15 @ 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 you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.

updv@1Kings:21:16 @ 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.
