1 Kings study chapter

1 Kings 21

c. 855 BCAhab and Jezebel seize Naboth’s vineyard by false witness and murder, and Elijah pronounces doom.

Ahab covets the vineyard of Naboth, who refuses to sell his ancestral inheritance, and sulks like a child. Jezebel arranges Naboth’s judicial murder on false charges of blasphemy and hands the vineyard to Ahab. Elijah meets the king in the stolen vineyard and pronounces terrible judgment on his house and on Jezebel; at this, Ahab humbles himself, and God defers the disaster to his son’s days.
