1 Kings 21:10-24

[10] 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.  [11] 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  [12] They proclaimed  a fast,  and set  Naboth  on high  among the people.  [13] And there came  in two  children  of Belial,  and sat  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.  [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 is in Samaria:  behold, he is in the vineyard  of Naboth,  whither he is gone down  to possess  [19] And thou shalt speak  unto him, saying,  the LORD,  Hast thou killed,  and also taken possession?  And thou shalt speak  unto him, saying,  the LORD,  In the place  where dogs  licked  the blood  of Naboth  shall dogs  lick  thy blood,  [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 work  evil  in the sight  of the LORD.  [21] 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,  [22] And will make  thine 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.  [23] And of Jezebel  also spake  the LORD,  saying,  The dogs  shall eat  Jezebel  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.
