King Ahab’s palace [227] was in the city of Samaria. Near the palace there was a field of grapes. A man named Naboth owned this field. He was from Jezreel.
Then the leaders sent a message to Jezebel. The message said: “Naboth has been killed.”
Jezebel answered, “But you are the king over Israel! Get out of your bed. Eat something and you will feel better. I will get Naboth’s field for you.”
You must destroy the family of Ahab your king. In this way I will punish Jezebel for the deaths of my servants, the prophets, and the deaths of all the Lord’s servants that were murdered.
