- 2 Sam 11:14-24 : 14 In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah. 15 In the letter he wrote:“Station Uriah at the front in the thick of the battle and then withdraw from him so he will be cut down and killed.” 16 So as Joab kept watch on the city, he stationed Uriah at the place where he knew the best enemy soldiers were. 17 When the men of the city came out and fought with Joab, some of David’s soldiers fell in battle. Uriah the Hittite also died. 18 Then Joab sent a full battle report to David. 19 He instructed the messenger as follows:“When you finish giving the battle report to the king, 20 if the king becomes angry and asks you,‘Why did you go so close to the city to fight? Didn’t you realize they would shoot from the wall? 21 Who struck down Abimelech the son of Jerub-Besheth? Didn’t a woman throw an upper millstone down on him from the wall so that he died in Thebez? Why did you go so close to the wall?’ just say to him,‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite is also dead.’” 22 So the messenger departed. When he arrived, he informed David of all the news that Joab had sent with him. 23 The messenger said to David,“The men overpowered us and attacked us in the field. But we forced them to retreat all the way to the door of the city gate. 24 Then the archers shot at your servants from the wall and some of the king’s soldiers died. Your servant Uriah the Hittite is also dead.”

1Ahab Murders Naboth After this the following episode took place. Naboth the Jezreelite owned a vineyard in Jezreel adjacent to the palace of King Ahab of Samaria.
2Ahab said to Naboth,“Give me your vineyard so I can make a vegetable garden out of it, for it is adjacent to my palace. I will give you an even better vineyard in its place, or if you prefer, I will pay you silver for it.”
3But Naboth replied to Ahab,“The LORD forbid that I should sell you my ancestral inheritance.”
4So Ahab went into his palace, bitter and angry that Naboth the Jezreelite had said,“I will not sell to you my ancestral inheritance.” He lay down on his bed, pouted, and would not eat.
5Then his wife Jezebel came in and said to him,“Why do you have a bitter attitude and refuse to eat?”
6He answered her,“While I was talking to Naboth the Jezreelite, I said to him,‘Sell me your vineyard for silver, or if you prefer, I will give you another vineyard in its place.’ But he said,‘I will not sell you my vineyard.’”
7His wife Jezebel said to him,“You are the king of Israel! Get up, eat some food, and have a good time. I will get the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite for you.”
8She wrote out orders, signed Ahab’s name to them, and sealed them with his seal. She then sent the orders to the leaders and to the nobles who lived in Naboth’s city.
9This is what she wrote:“Observe a time of fasting and seat Naboth in front of the people.
10Also seat two villains opposite him and have them testify,‘You cursed God and the king.’ Then take him out and stone him to death.”
11The men of the city, the leaders and the nobles who lived there, followed the written orders Jezebel had sent them.
12They observed a time of fasting and put Naboth in front of the people.
13The two villains arrived and sat opposite him. Then the villains testified against Naboth right before the people, saying,“Naboth cursed God and the king.” So they dragged him outside the city and stoned him to death.
