11. And the men of his city, the elders and the nobles who dwelt there, did as Jezebel had directed in the letters sent them.
12. They proclaimed a fast and set Naboth on high among the people.
13. Two base fellows came in and sat opposite him and they charged Naboth before the people, saying, Naboth cursed and renounced God and the king. Then he was carried out of the city and stoned to death.
14. Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth has been stoned and is dead.
15. Then Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite which he refused to sell you, for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
16. When Ahab heard that, he arose to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite to take possession of it.
17. Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
18. Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel in Samaria. He is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone to possess it.
19. Say to him, Thus says the Lord: Have you killed and also taken possession? Thus says the Lord: In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick your blood, even yours.
20. And Ahab said to Elijah, Have you found me, O my enemy? And he answered, I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do evil in the sight of the Lord.
