Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

1 Kings 20
⁴⁰ While your servant was busy here and there, he was gone." Then the king of Israel said to him, "So shall your judgment be; you yourself have decided it."
⁴¹ And he hastened to take the bandage away from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized him as one of the prophets.
⁴² Then he said to him, "Thus says the Lord: ’Because you have let slip out of your hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.’ "
⁴³ So the king of Israel went to his house sullen and displeased, and came to Samaria.
1 Kings 21
¹ And it came to pass after these things that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel, next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
² So Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, "Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a vegetable garden, because it is near, next to my house; and for it I will give you a vineyard better than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money."
³ But Naboth said to Ahab, "The Lord forbid that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!"
⁴ So Ahab went into his house sullen and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, "I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers." And he lay down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no food.
⁵ But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, "Why is your spirit so sullen that you eat no food?"
⁶ He said to her, "Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, ’Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.’ And he answered, ’I will not give you my vineyard.’ "
⁷ Then Jezebel his wife said to him, "You now exercise authority over Israel! Arise, eat food, and let your heart be cheerful; I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite."
