Löydetty 19 Tulokset: Naboth
Now turn we to the vineyard at Jezrahel, which belonged to Naboth the Jezrahelite, close to Achab’s palace, that was King of Samaria. (1 Kings 21, 1)
Give me that vineyard of thine, Achab said to Naboth, so near adjoining my house, to make a herb-garden of it. In its place, I will give thee a better vineyard of my own, or its worth in money, if that likes thee better. (1 Kings 21, 2)
The Lord be merciful to me, Naboth answered; should I give thee the land that was my fathers’ patrimony? (1 Kings 21, 3)
And at that, Achab went home sullen and ill to cross, only because Naboth had refused to give up his fathers’ patrimony. Down on his bed he lay, face to wall, and would take no food. (1 Kings 21, 4)
and he told her the story, how he had offered Naboth the Jezrahelite a sum of money for his vineyard, or a better vineyard, if he would, in place of it, and Naboth had refused to give the vineyard up. (1 Kings 21, 6)
A fine king thou art, she said, as ever ruled in Israel! Up with thee, and eat, set thy heart at rest; I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezrahelite. (1 Kings 21, 7)
Then she wrote a letter in Achab’s name, sealing it with his own seal, and despatched it to the elders and chief men that were Naboth’s fellow-citizens. (1 Kings 21, 8)
The tenour of it was this; They were to proclaim a solemn fast, and where the greatest of the townspeople sat, there must be a seat for Naboth. (1 Kings 21, 9)
So the elders and chief men, Naboth’s fellow-citizens, obeyed the instructions Jezabel’s letter had given them; (1 Kings 21, 11)
they proclaimed a fast, and would have Naboth sit among the greatest of the townspeople; (1 Kings 21, 12)
and there, opposite him, sat two rogues, whom they had brought in to that end. These, like the slanderers they were, accused Naboth of cursing God and the king; whereupon he was led out beyond the city walls, and stoned to death. (1 Kings 21, 13)
Then a message was sent to Jezabel, telling her how Naboth had died by stoning; (1 Kings 21, 14)
