1 Kings 21 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

But Jezebel ^H348 his wife ^H802 came ^H935 to him and said ^H1696 to him, “How ^H4100 is it that your spirit ^H7307 is so sullen ^H5620 that you are not eating ^H398 [fn]food ^H3899?”

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 to the elders ^H2205 and to the nobles ^H2715 who ^H834 were living ^H3427 with Naboth ^H5022 in his city ^H5892.

So the men ^H376 of his city ^H5892, the elders ^H2205 and the nobles ^H2715 who ^H834 lived ^H3427 in his city ^H5892, did ^H6213 just ^H834 as ^H834 Jezebel ^H348 had sent ^H7971 word to them, just ^H834 as ^H834 it was written ^H3789 in the letters ^H5612 which ^H834 she had sent ^H7971 them.

And when Jezebel ^H348 heard ^H8085 that Naboth ^H5022 had been stoned ^H5619 and was dead ^H4191, Jezebel ^H348 said ^H559 to Ahab ^H256, “Arise ^H6965, take ^H3423 possession ^H3423 of the vineyard ^H3754 of Naboth ^H5022, the Jezreelite ^H3158, which ^H834 he refused ^H3985 to give ^H5414 you for money ^H3701; for Naboth ^H5022 is not alive ^H2416, but dead ^H4191.”

Then the word ^H1697 of the LORD ^H3068 came ^H1961 to Elijah ^H452 the Tishbite ^H8664, saying ^H559,

Then Ahab ^H256 said ^H559 to Elijah ^H452, “Have you found ^H4672 me, enemy ^H340 of mine?” And he [fn]answered ^H559, “I have found ^H4672 you, because ^H3282 you have given ^H4376 yourself over ^H4376 to do ^H6213 evil ^H7451 in the sight ^H5869 of the LORD ^H3068.

There certainly ^H7534 was no ^H3808 one like Ahab ^H256 who ^H834 gave ^H4376 himself over ^H4376 to do ^H6213 evil ^H7451 in the sight ^H5869 of the LORD ^H3068, [fn]because ^H834 Jezebel ^H348 his wife ^H802 incited ^H5496 him.

Yet it came ^H1961 about ^H1961, when Ahab ^H256 heard ^H8085 these ^H428 words ^H1697, that he tore ^H7167 his clothes ^H899 and put ^H7760 [fn]on sackcloth ^H8242 and fasted ^H6684, and he lay ^H7901 in sackcloth ^H8242 and went ^H1980 about ^H1980 despondently ^H328.
