  • 2 Sam 11:14-24 : 14 The next morning, David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah. 15 In the letter, David wrote, 'Put Uriah at the front where the fighting is fiercest. Then withdraw from him so he will be struck down and killed.' 16 As Joab kept watch over the city, he positioned Uriah at a place where he knew the strongest defenders were. 17 When the men of the city came out and fought against Joab, some of David’s men fell in battle, and Uriah the Hittite also died. 18 Joab sent David a full report of the battle. 19 He instructed the messenger, 'When you finish delivering the report of the battle to the king, 20 if the king becomes angry and asks, "Why did you go so near the city to fight? Didn’t you know they would shoot arrows from the wall? 21 Who killed Abimelech son of Jerubbesheth? Didn’t a woman drop a millstone on him from the wall so that he died in Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?" then say to him, "Your servant Uriah the Hittite is also dead."' 22 The messenger set out, and when he arrived, he reported to David everything Joab had sent him to say. 23 The messenger said to David, 'The men overpowered us and came out against us in the open field, but we drove them back to the entrance of the city gate.' 24 Then the archers shot arrows at your servants from the wall, and some of the king’s men died. Moreover, your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead.

    15As soon as Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, she said to Ahab, 'Get up and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to sell to you for silver. Naboth is no longer alive, but dead.'

    16When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, he got up and went down to take possession of Naboth’s vineyard.

    17Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

    18'Get up and go down to meet Ahab, king of Israel, who rules in Samaria. He is now in Naboth’s vineyard, where he has gone to take possession of it.

    19Speak to him and say, “Thus says the LORD: Have you murdered and also taken possession?” Then say to him, “Thus says the LORD: In the place where the dogs licked up Naboth’s blood, the dogs will also lick up your blood—yes, yours.”'

    20Ahab said to Elijah, 'So, have you found me, my enemy?' 'I have found you,' he answered, 'because you have devoted yourself to doing evil in the eyes of the LORD.'

    1After these events, there was a vineyard belonging to Naboth the Jezreelite, in Jezreel, next to the palace of Ahab, king of Samaria.

    2Ahab said to Naboth, 'Give me your vineyard so I can use it as a vegetable garden, because it is close to my house. In exchange, I will give you a better vineyard, or if you prefer, I will pay you its worth in silver.'

    3But Naboth said to Ahab, 'The LORD forbid that I should give you my ancestral inheritance!'

    4Ahab went home sullen and angry because of what Naboth the Jezreelite had said when he told him, 'I will not give you my inheritance.' He lay on his bed, turned his face away, and refused to eat.

    5His wife Jezebel came to him and asked, 'Why are you so upset that you won’t eat?'

    6He told her, 'When I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and said, “Give me your vineyard for money, or if you prefer, I’ll give you another vineyard in exchange,” he replied, “I will not give you my vineyard.”'

    7Jezebel, his wife, said to him, 'Is this how you act as king over Israel? Get up, eat, and cheer up. I’ll get you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.'

    8So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, sealed them with his seal, and sent them to the elders and nobles who lived in Naboth’s city.

    9In those letters she wrote, 'Proclaim a fast and seat Naboth in a prominent place among the people.'

    10Then seat two scoundrels opposite him and have them accuse him, saying, 'You have cursed God and the king.' Then take him out and stone him to death.

    11So the elders and nobles of this city, who lived there, carried out Jezebel’s instructions, just as she had written in the letters she sent them.

    12They proclaimed a fast and seated Naboth in a prominent place among the people.

    13Two worthless men came and sat opposite Naboth. They testified against him before the people, saying, 'Naboth has cursed God and the king.' So they took him outside the city, stoned him to death, and he died.
