KJV_Strongs(i)
  1 H310 And it came to pass after H1697 these things H5022 , that Naboth H3158 the Jezreelite H3754 had a vineyard H3157 , which was in Jezreel H681 , hard by H1964 the palace H256 of Ahab H4428 king H8111 of Samaria.
  2 H256 And Ahab H1696 spake [H8762]   H5022 unto Naboth H559 , saying [H8800]   H5414 , Give [H8798]   H3754 me thy vineyard H1588 , that I may have it for a garden H3419 of herbs H7138 , because it is near H681 unto H1004 my house H5414 : and I will give [H8799]   H2896 thee for it a better H3754 vineyard H2896 than it; or, if it seem good H5869 to thee H5414 , I will give [H8799]   H4242 thee the worth H3701 of it in money.
  3 H5022 And Naboth H559 said [H8799]   H256 to Ahab H3068 , The LORD H2486 forbid H5414 it me, that I should give [H8800]   H5159 the inheritance H1 of my fathers unto thee.
  4 H256 And Ahab H935 came [H8799]   H1004 into his house H5620 heavy H2198 and displeased H1697 because of the word H5022 which Naboth H3158 the Jezreelite H1696 had spoken [H8765]   H559 to him: for he had said [H8799]   H5414 , I will not give [H8799]   H5159 thee the inheritance H1 of my fathers H7901 . And he laid him down [H8799]   H4296 upon his bed H5437 , and turned away [H8686]   H6440 his face H398 , and would eat [H8804]   H3899 no bread.
  5 H348 But Jezebel H802 his wife H935 came [H8799]   H1696 to him, and said [H8762]   H7307 unto him, Why is thy spirit H5620 so sad H398 , that thou eatest [H8802]   H3899 no bread?
  6 H1696 And he said [H8762]   H1696 unto her, Because I spake [H8762]   H5022 unto Naboth H3158 the Jezreelite H559 , and said [H8799]   H5414 unto him, Give [H8798]   H3754 me thy vineyard H3701 for money H2655 ; or else, if it please H5414 thee, I will give [H8799]   H3754 thee another vineyard H559 for it: and he answered [H8799]   H5414 , I will not give [H8799]   H3754 thee my vineyard.
  7 H348 And Jezebel H802 his wife H559 said [H8799]   H6213 unto him, Dost thou now govern [H8799]   H4410 the kingdom H3478 of Israel H6965 ? arise [H8798]   H398 , and eat [H8798]   H3899 bread H3820 , and let thine heart H3190 be merry [H8799]   H5414 : I will give [H8799]   H3754 thee the vineyard H5022 of Naboth H3158 the Jezreelite.
  8 H3789 So she wrote [H8799]   H5612 letters H256 in Ahab's H8034 name H2856 , and sealed [H8799]   H2368 them with his seal H7971 , and sent [H8799]   H5612 the letters H2205 unto the elders H2715 and to the nobles H5892 that were in his city H3427 , dwelling [H8802]   H5022 with Naboth.
  9 H3789 And she wrote [H8799]   H5612 in the letters H559 , saying [H8800]   H7121 , Proclaim [H8798]   H6685 a fast H3427 , and set [H8685]   H5022 Naboth H7218 on high H5971 among the people:
  10 H3427 And set [H8685]   H8147 two H582 men H1121 , sons H1100 of Belial H5749 , before him, to bear witness [H8686]   H559 against him, saying [H8800]   H1288 , Thou didst blaspheme [H8765]   H430 God H4428 and the king H3318 . And then carry him out [H8689]   H5619 , and stone [H8798]   H4191 him, that he may die [H8799]  .
  11 H582 And the men H5892 of his city H2205 , even the elders H2715 and the nobles H3427 who were the inhabitants [H8802]   H5892 in his city H6213 , did [H8799]   H348 as Jezebel H7971 had sent [H8804]   H3789 unto them, and as it was written [H8803]   H5612 in the letters H7971 which she had sent [H8804]   unto them.
  12 H7121 They proclaimed [H8804]   H6685 a fast H3427 , and set [H8689]   H5022 Naboth H7218 on high H5971 among the people.
  13 H935 And there came [H8799]   H8147 in two H582 men H1121 , children H1100 of Belial H3427 , and sat [H8799]   H582 before him: and the men H1100 of Belial H5749 witnessed [H8686]   H5022 against him, even against Naboth H5971 , in the presence of the people H559 , saying [H8800]   H5022 , Naboth H1288 did blaspheme [H8765]   H430 God H4428 and the king H3318 . Then they carried him forth [H8686]   H2351 out H5892 of the city H5619 , and stoned [H8799]   H68 him with stones H4191 , that he died [H8799]  .
  14 H7971 Then they sent [H8799]   H348 to Jezebel H559 , saying [H8800]   H5022 , Naboth H5619 is stoned [H8795]   H4191 , and is dead [H8799]  .
  15 H348 And it came to pass, when Jezebel H8085 heard [H8800]   H5022 that Naboth H5619 was stoned [H8795]   H4191 , and was dead [H8799]   H348 , that Jezebel H559 said [H8799]   H256 to Ahab H6965 , Arise [H8798]   H3423 , take possession [H8798]   H3754 of the vineyard H5022 of Naboth H3158 the Jezreelite H3985 , which he refused [H8765]   H5414 to give [H8800]   H3701 thee for money H5022 : for Naboth H2416 is not alive H4191 , but dead [H8804]  .
  16 H256 And it came to pass, when Ahab H8085 heard [H8800]   H5022 that Naboth H4191 was dead [H8804]   H256 , that Ahab H6965 rose up [H8799]   H3381 to go down [H8800]   H3754 to the vineyard H5022 of Naboth H3158 the Jezreelite H3423 , to take possession [H8800]   of it.
  17 H1697 And the word H3068 of the LORD H452 came to Elijah H8664 the Tishbite H559 , saying [H8800]  ,
  18 H6965 Arise [H8798]   H3381 , go down [H8798]   H7125 to meet [H8800]   H256 Ahab H4428 king H3478 of Israel H8111 , which is in Samaria H3754 : behold, he is in the vineyard H5022 of Naboth H3381 , whither he is gone down [H8804]   H3423 to possess [H8800]   it.
  19 H1696 And thou shalt speak [H8765]   H559 unto him, saying [H8800]   H559 , Thus saith [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H7523 , Hast thou killed [H8804]   H3423 , and also taken possession [H8804]   H1696 ? And thou shalt speak [H8765]   H559 unto him, saying [H8800]   H559 , Thus saith [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H4725 , In the place H3611 where dogs H3952 licked [H8804]   H1818 the blood H5022 of Naboth H3611 shall dogs H3952 lick [H8799]   H1818 thy blood, even thine.
  20 H256 And Ahab H559 said [H8799]   H452 to Elijah H4672 , Hast thou found [H8804]   H341 me, O mine enemy [H8802]   H559 ? And he answered [H8799]   H4672 , I have found [H8804]   H4376 thee : because thou hast sold [H8692]   H6213 thyself to work [H8800]   H7451 evil H5869 in the sight H3068 of the LORD.
  21 H935 Behold, I will bring [H8688]   H7451 evil H1197 upon thee, and will take away [H8765]   H310 thy posterity H3772 , and will cut off [H8689]   H256 from Ahab H8366 him that pisseth [H8688]   H7023 against the wall H6113 , and him that is shut up [H8803]   H5800 and left [H8803]   H3478 in Israel,
  22 H5414 And will make [H8804]   H1004 thine house H1004 like the house H3379 of Jeroboam H1121 the son H5028 of Nebat H1004 , and like the house H1201 of Baasha H1121 the son H281 of Ahijah H3708 , for the provocation H3707 wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger [H8689]   H3478 , and made Israel H2398 to sin [H8686]  .
  23 H348 And of Jezebel H1696 also spake [H8765]   H3068 the LORD H559 , saying [H8800]   H3611 , The dogs H398 shall eat [H8799]   H348 Jezebel H2426 by the wall H3157 of Jezreel.
  24 H4191 Him that dieth [H8801]   H256 of Ahab H5892 in the city H3611 the dogs H398 shall eat [H8799]   H4191 ; and him that dieth [H8801]   H7704 in the field H5775 shall the fowls H8064 of the air H398 eat [H8799]  .
  25 H256 But there was none like unto Ahab H4376 , which did sell [H8694]   H6213 himself to work [H8800]   H7451 wickedness H5869 in the sight H3068 of the LORD H348 , whom Jezebel H802 his wife H5496 stirred up [H8689]  .
  26 H3966 And he did very H8581 abominably [H8686]   H3212 in following [H8800]   H310   H1544 idols H6213 , according to all things as did [H8804]   H567 the Amorites H3068 , whom the LORD H3423 cast out [H8689]   H6440 before H1121 the children H3478 of Israel.
  27 H256 And it came to pass, when Ahab H8085 heard [H8800]   H1697 those words H7167 , that he rent [H8799]   H899 his clothes H7760 , and put [H8799]   H8242 sackcloth H1320 upon his flesh H6684 , and fasted [H8799]   H7901 , and lay [H8799]   H8242 in sackcloth H1980 , and went [H8762]   H328 softly.
  28 H1697 And the word H3068 of the LORD H452 came to Elijah H8664 the Tishbite H559 , saying [H8800]  ,
  29 H7200 Seest [H8804]   H256 thou how Ahab H3665 humbleth [H8738]   H6440 himself before H3282 me? because H3665 he humbleth [H8738]   H6440 himself before H935 me, I will not bring [H8686]   H7451 the evil H3117 in his days H1121 : but in his son's H3117 days H935 will I bring [H8686]   H7451 the evil H1004 upon his house.
ERV(i) 1 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. 2 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. 3 And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee. 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 thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread. 5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread? 6 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. 7 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. 8 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, [and] that dwelt with Naboth. 9 And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people: 10 and set two men, sons of Belial, before him, and let them bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst curse God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he die. 11 And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who dwelt in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them. 12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people. 13 And the two men, sons of Belial, came in and sat before him: and the men of Belial bare witness against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did curse God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died. 14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead. 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 thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead. 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. 17 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which dwelleth in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to take possession of it. 19 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. 20 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 do that which is evil in the sight of the LORD. 21 Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will utterly sweep thee away, and will cut off from Ahab every man child, and him that is shut up and him that is left at large in Israel: 22 and I 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 hast made Israel to sin. 23 And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel. 24 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. 25 (But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to do that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up. 26 And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.) 27 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. 28 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 29 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.
