1 Kings 21:19-23 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

19. Tell Ahab that I, the Lord, say to him, ‘Ahab! You have murdered Naboth and have taken his land. So I tell you this! In the same place that Naboth died, you will also die. The dogs that licked up Naboth’s blood will lick up your blood in the same place!’”

20. When Ahab saw Elijah, he said, “So you have found me, my enemy!”Elijah answered, “Yes, I have found you. You have always chosen to do what the Lord says is wrong.

21. So the Lord says to you, ‘I will destroy you. I will kill you and every male in your family, both slave and free.

22. Your family will be like the family of King Jeroboam son of Nebat. And it will be like the family of King Baasha son of Ahijah. Both of these families were completely destroyed. I will do this to you because you have made me angry. And you have caused the people of Israel to sin.’

23. “And the Lord also says, ‘Dogs will eat the body of Jezebel in the city of Jezreel.’
