King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. And it came to pass[H1961] after[H310] these[H428] things,[H1697] that Naboth[H5022] the Jezreelite[H3158] had[H1961] a vineyard,[H3754] which[H834] was in Jezreel,[H3157] hard[H681] by the palace[H1964] of Ahab[H256] king[H4428] of Samaria.[H8111]

2. And Ahab[H256] spoke[H1696] unto[H413] Naboth,[H5022] saying,[H559] Give[H5414] me[H853] thy vineyard,[H3754] that I may have[H1961] it for a garden[H1588] of herbs,[H3419] because[H3588] it[H1931] is near unto[H7138] [H681] my house:[H1004] and I will give[H5414] thee for[H8478] it a better[H2896] vineyard[H3754] than[H4480] it; or, if[H518] it seem good to thee,[H2895] [H5869] I will give[H5414] thee the worth[H4242] of it[H2088] in money.[H3701]

3. And Naboth[H5022] said[H559] to[H413] Ahab,[H256] The LORD[H4480] [H3068] forbid[H2486] it me, that I should give[H4480] [H5414] [H853] the inheritance[H5159] of my fathers[H1] unto thee.

4. And Ahab[H256] came[H935] into[H413] his house[H1004] heavy[H5620] and displeased[H2198] because[H5921] of the word[H1697] which[H834] Naboth[H5022] the Jezreelite[H3158] had spoken[H1696] to[H413] him: for he had said,[H559] I will not[H3808] give[H5414] thee[H853] the inheritance[H5159] of my fathers.[H1] And he laid him down[H7901] upon[H5921] his bed,[H4296] and turned away[H5437] [H853] his face,[H6440] and would eat[H398] no[H3808] bread.[H3899]

5. But Jezebel[H348] his wife[H802] came[H935] to[H413] him, and said[H1696] unto[H413] him, Why[H4100] [H2088] is thy spirit[H7307] so sad,[H5620] that thou eatest[H398] no[H369] bread?[H3899]

6. And he said[H1696] unto[H413] her, Because[H3588] I spoke[H1696] unto[H413] Naboth[H5022] the Jezreelite,[H3158] and said[H559] unto him, Give[H5414] me[H853] thy vineyard[H3754] for money;[H3701] or[H176] else, if[H518] it please[H2654] thee,[H859] I will give[H5414] thee another vineyard[H3754] for[H8478] it: and he answered,[H559] I will not[H3808] give[H5414] thee[H853] my vineyard.[H3754]

7. And Jezebel[H348] his wife[H802] said[H559] unto[H413] him, Dost thou[H859] now[H6258] govern[H6213] [H5921] the kingdom[H4410] of Israel?[H3478] arise,[H6965] and eat[H398] bread,[H3899] and let thine heart[H3820] be merry:[H3190] I[H589] will give[H5414] thee[H853] the vineyard[H3754] of Naboth[H5022] the Jezreelite.[H3158]

8. So she wrote[H3789] letters[H5612] in Ahab's[H256] name,[H8034] and sealed[H2856] them with his seal,[H2368] and sent[H7971] the letters[H5612] unto[H413] the elders[H2205] and to[H413] the nobles[H2715] that[H834] were in his city,[H5892] dwelling[H3427] with[H854] Naboth.[H5022]

9. And she wrote[H3789] in the letters,[H5612] saying,[H559] Proclaim[H7121] a fast,[H6685] and set[H3427] [H853] Naboth[H5022] on high[H7218] among the people: [H5971]

10. And set[H3427] two[H8147] men,[H376] sons[H1121] of Belial,[H1100] before[H5048] him, to bear witness against[H5749] him, saying,[H559] Thou didst blaspheme[H1288] God[H430] and the king.[H4428] And then carry him out,[H3318] and stone[H5619] him, that he may die.[H4191]

11. And the men[H376] of his city,[H5892] even the elders[H2205] and the nobles[H2715] who[H834] were the inhabitants[H3427] in his city,[H5892] did[H6213] as[H834] Jezebel[H348] had sent[H7971] unto[H413] them, and as[H834] it was written[H3789] in the letters[H5612] which[H834] she had sent[H7971] unto[H413] them.

12. They proclaimed[H7121] a fast,[H6685] and set[H3427] [H853] Naboth[H5022] on high[H7218] among the people.[H5971]

13. And there came in[H935] two[H8147] men,[H376] children[H1121] of Belial,[H1100] and sat[H3427] before[H5048] him: and the men[H376] of Belial[H1100] witnessed against[H5749] him, even against[H853] Naboth,[H5022] in the presence[H5048] of the people,[H5971] saying,[H559] Naboth[H5022] did blaspheme[H1288] God[H430] and the king.[H4428] Then they carried him forth[H3318] out of[H4480] [H2351] the city,[H5892] and stoned[H5619] him with stones,[H68] that he died.[H4191]

14. Then they sent[H7971] to[H413] Jezebel,[H348] saying,[H559] Naboth[H5022] is stoned,[H5619] and is dead.[H4191]

15. And it came to pass,[H1961] when Jezebel[H348] heard[H8085] that[H3588] Naboth[H5022] was stoned,[H5619] and was dead,[H4191] that Jezebel[H348] said[H559] to[H413] Ahab,[H256] Arise,[H6965] take possession[H3423] of[H853] the vineyard[H3754] of Naboth[H5022] the Jezreelite,[H3158] which[H834] he refused[H3985] to give[H5414] thee for money:[H3701] for[H3588] Naboth[H5022] is not[H369] alive,[H2416] but[H3588] dead.[H4191]

16. And it came to pass,[H1961] when Ahab[H256] heard[H8085] that[H3588] Naboth[H5022] was dead,[H4191] that Ahab[H256] rose up[H6965] to go down[H3381] to[H413] the vineyard[H3754] of Naboth[H5022] the Jezreelite,[H3158] to take possession[H3423] of it.

17. And the word[H1697] of the LORD[H3068] came[H1961] to[H413] Elijah[H452] the Tishbite,[H8664] saying,[H559]

18. Arise,[H6965] go down[H3381] to meet[H7121] Ahab[H256] king[H4428] of Israel,[H3478] which[H834] is in Samaria:[H8111] behold,[H2009] he is in the vineyard[H3754] of Naboth,[H5022] whither[H834] [H8033] he is gone down[H3381] to possess[H3423] it.

19. And thou shalt speak[H1696] unto[H413] him, saying,[H559] Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD,[H3068] Hast thou killed,[H7523] and also[H1571] taken possession?[H3423] And thou shalt speak[H1696] unto[H413] him, saying,[H559] Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD,[H3068] In the place[H4725] where[H834] dogs[H3611] licked[H3952] [H853] the blood[H1818] of Naboth[H5022] shall dogs[H3611] lick[H3952] [H853] thy blood,[H1818] even[H1571] thine.[H859]

20. And Ahab[H256] said[H559] to[H413] Elijah,[H452] Hast thou found[H4672] me, O mine enemy?[H341] And he answered,[H559] I have found[H4672] thee: because[H3282] thou hast sold[H4376] thyself to work[H6213] evil[H7451] in the sight[H5869] of the LORD.[H3068]

21. Behold,[H2009] I will bring[H935] evil[H7451] upon[H413] thee, and will take away[H1197] thy posterity,[H310] and will cut off[H3772] from Ahab[H256] him that pisseth[H8366] against the wall,[H7023] and him that is shut up[H6113] and left[H5800] in Israel,[H3478]

22. And will make[H5414] [H853] thine house[H1004] like the house[H1004] of Jeroboam[H3379] the son[H1121] of Nebat,[H5028] and like the house[H1004] of Baasha[H1201] the son[H1121] of Ahijah,[H281] for[H413] the provocation[H3708] wherewith[H834] thou hast provoked me to anger,[H3707] and made Israel to sin.[H2398] [H853] [H3478]

23. And of Jezebel[H348] also[H1571] spoke[H1696] the LORD,[H3068] saying,[H559] The dogs[H3611] shall eat[H398] [H853] Jezebel[H348] by the wall[H2426] of Jezreel.[H3157]

24. Him that dieth[H4191] of Ahab[H256] in the city[H5892] the dogs[H3611] shall eat;[H398] and him that dieth[H4191] in the field[H7704] shall the fowls[H5775] of the air[H8064] eat.[H398]

25. But[H7535] there was[H1961] none[H3808] like unto Ahab,[H256] which[H834] did sell himself[H4376] to work[H6213] wickedness[H7451] in the sight[H5869] of the LORD,[H3068] whom[H834] [H853] Jezebel[H348] his wife[H802] stirred up.[H5496]

26. And he did very[H3966] abominably[H8581] in following[H1980] [H310] idols,[H1544] according to all[H3605] things as[H834] did[H6213] the Amorites,[H567] whom[H834] the LORD[H3068] cast out[H3423] before[H4480] [H6440] the children[H1121] of Israel.[H3478]

27. And it came to pass,[H1961] when Ahab[H256] heard[H8085] [H853] those[H428] words,[H1697] that he rent[H7167] his clothes,[H899] and put[H7760] sackcloth[H8242] upon[H5921] his flesh,[H1320] and fasted,[H6684] and lay[H7901] in sackcloth,[H8242] and went[H1980] softly.[H328]

28. And the word[H1697] of the LORD[H3068] came[H1961] to[H413] Elijah[H452] the Tishbite,[H8664] saying,[H559]

29. Seest[H7200] thou how[H3588] Ahab[H256] humbleth himself[H3665] before[H4480] [H6440] me? because[H3282] [H3588] he humbleth himself[H3665] before[H4480] [H6440] me, I will not[H3808] bring[H935] the evil[H7451] in his days:[H3117] but in his son's[H1121] days[H3117] will I bring[H935] the evil[H7451] upon[H5921] his house.[H1004]
