And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king’s sons, and killed seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him in Jezreel.
Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, says the LORD; and I will repay you in this portion of land, says the LORD. Now therefore take and leave him in the portion of ground, according to the word of the LORD.
Thus says the LORD, Write this man as childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his descendents shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.
Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? did he not fear the LORD, and pleaded with the LORD, and the LORD repented of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we bring about great evil against our souls.
And I will punish him and his descendents and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them; but they did not listen.
Therefore now thus says the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; Why do you commit this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain;
And the LORD has given a commandment concerning you, that no more who have your name shall be born: out of the house of your gods will I cut off the sculptured image and the molten image: I will make your grave; for you are vile.
You are filled with shame instead of glory: drink also, and let your foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD’S right hand shall be turned to you, and shameful spewing shall be on your glory.
The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make of them wide plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign to the children of Israel.
