Elijah Pronounces Judgment

17

And the word of Jehovah is unto Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

18

`Rise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who is in Samaria, --lo, in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he hath gone down to possess it,

19

and thou hast spoken unto him, saying, Thus said Jehovah, Hast thou murdered, and also possessed? and thou hast spoken unto him, saying, Thus said Jehovah, In the place where the dogs licked the blood of Naboth, do the dogs lick thy blood, even thine.'

20

And Ahab saith unto Elijah, `Hast thou found me, O mine enemy?' and he saith, `I have found--because of thy selling thyself to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah;

21

lo, I am bringing in unto thee evil, and have taken away thy posterity, and cut off to Ahab those sitting on the wall, and restrained, and left, in Israel,

22

and given up thy house like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha son of Ahijah, for the provocation with which thou hast provoked Me , and dost cause Israel to sin.

23

`And also of Jezebel hath Jehovah spoken, saying, The dogs do eat Jezebel in the bulwark of Jezreel;

24

him who dieth of Ahab in a city do the dogs eat, and him who dieth in a field do fowl of the heavens eat;

25

surely there hath none been like Ahab, who sold himself to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, whom Jezebel his wife hath moved,

26

and he doth very abominably to go after the idols, according to all that the Amorite did whom Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel.'
