    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.

    14Then they sent word to Jezebel, saying, 'Naboth has been stoned and 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.
