1 Kings 21:1 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 There was a vineyard near King Ahab's palace in Samaria. A man from Jezreel named Naboth owned it.
2 One day Ahab said to Naboth, "Give me your vineyard that is near my palace. I want to make it a vegetable garden. I will give you a better vineyard in its place. Or, if you prefer, I will pay you for it."
3 Naboth answered, "By the Lord, I will never give my land to you. This land belongs to my family."
4 So Ahab went home angry and upset because Naboth told him, "I will not give you my family's land." Ahab went to bed, turned away from everyone, and refused to eat.
5 His wife Jezebel went to him and asked him, "Why are you upset? Why do you refuse to eat?"
6 Ahab answered, "I asked Naboth from Jezreel to give me his vineyard. I told him that I would pay him the full price. Or, if he preferred, I would give him another vineyard. But Naboth refused to give it to me."
7 Jezebel answered, "But you are the king over Israel! Get out of bed and eat something, and you will feel better. I will get Naboth's vineyard for you."
8 Then Jezebel wrote some letters. She signed Ahab's name to them and used his seal to seal the letters. Then she sent them to the elders and important men who lived in the same town as Naboth.
9 This is what the letter said: "Announce that there will be a day of fasting when the people will eat nothing. Then call all the people of the town together for a meeting. At the meeting we will talk about Naboth.
10 Find some men who will tell lies about Naboth. They should say that they heard Naboth speak against the king and against God. Then take Naboth out of the city and kill him with stones."
11 So the elders and important men of Jezreel obeyed the command.
12 The leaders announced that there would be a day when all the people would eat nothing. On that day they called all the people together for a meeting. They put Naboth in a special place before the people.
13 Then two men told the people that they heard Naboth speak against God and the king. So the people carried Naboth out of the city and killed him with stones.
14 Then the leaders sent a message to Jezebel that said: "Naboth has been killed."
15 When Jezebel heard this, she said to Ahab, "Naboth is dead. Now you can go and take the vineyard that you wanted."
16 So Ahab went to the vineyard and took it for his own.
17 Then the Lord spoke to Elijah, the prophet from Tishbe. The Lord said,
18 "Go to King Ahab in Samaria. He will be at Naboth's vineyard. He is there to take the vineyard as his own.
19 Tell Ahab that I, the Lord, say to him, 'Ahab! You killed the man Naboth and now you are taking his land. I tell you this: Where the dogs licked up the blood of Naboth, they will lick up your blood as well.'"
20 So Elijah went to Ahab. When Ahab saw him, he said, "Well, my enemy has found me again!" Elijah answered, "Yes, I found you, because you have again sold yourself out to do what the Lord says is evil.
21 So the Lord says to you, 'I will make something bad happen to you. I will kill you and every male in your family.
22 I will destroy your family just as I destroyed the families of King Jeroboam son of Nebat and King Baasha. I will do this to you because you have made me angry and you have caused the Israelites to sin.'
23 The Lord also says this about your wife Jezebel, 'Dogs will eat the body of Jezebel by the wall of the city of Jezreel.
24 As for the family of Ahab, whoever dies in the city will be eaten by dogs, and whoever dies in the fields will be eaten by birds.'"
25 So Ahab sold himself out to do what the Lord says is evil. There is no one who did as much evil as Ahab and his wife Jezebel, who caused him to do these things.
26 Ahab committed the very bad sin of worshiping those filthy idols, just as the Amorites did. And that is why the Lord took the land from them and gave it to the Israelites.
27 When Ahab heard what Elijah said, he tore his clothes to show how sad he was. Then he put on sackcloth and refused to eat. He even slept in these clothes. He was very sad and upset.
28 The Lord said to the prophet Elijah from Tishbe,
29 "Look, Ahab has humbled himself before me. So I will not make that disaster happen during his lifetime. I will wait until his son is king. Then I will destroy his family."
1 And it came to pass H1961 after H310 these H428 things, H1697 that Naboth H5022 the Jezreelite H3158 had H1961 a vineyard, H3754 which H834 was in Jezreel, H3157 hard H681 by the palace H1964 of Ahab H256 king H4428 of Samaria. H8111
2 And Ahab H256 spoke H1696 unto H413 Naboth, H5022 saying, H559 Give H5414 me H853 thy vineyard, H3754 that I may have H1961 it for a garden H1588 of herbs, H3419 because H3588 it H1931 is near unto H7138 H681 my house: H1004 and I will give H5414 thee for H8478 it a better H2896 vineyard H3754 than H4480 it; or , if H518 it seem good to thee H2895 H5869 , I will give H5414 thee the worth H4242 of it H2088 in money. H3701
3 And Naboth H5022 said H559 to H413 Ahab, H256 The LORD H4480 H3068 forbid H2486 it me , that I should give H4480 H5414 H853 the inheritance H5159 of my fathers H1 unto thee.
4 And Ahab H256 came H935 into H413 his house H1004 heavy H5620 and displeased H2198 because H5921 of the word H1697 which H834 Naboth H5022 the Jezreelite H3158 had spoken H1696 to H413 him : for he had said, H559 I will not H3808 give H5414 thee H853 the inheritance H5159 of my fathers. H1 And he laid him down H7901 upon H5921 his bed, H4296 and turned away H5437 H853 his face, H6440 and would eat H398 no H3808 bread. H3899
5 But Jezebel H348 his wife H802 came H935 to H413 him , and said H1696 unto H413 him, Why H4100 H2088 is thy spirit H7307 so sad, H5620 that thou eatest H398 no H369 bread H3899 ?
6 And he said H1696 unto H413 her, Because H3588 I spoke H1696 unto H413 Naboth H5022 the Jezreelite, H3158 and said H559 unto him, Give H5414 me H853 thy vineyard H3754 for money; H3701 or H176 else, if H518 it please H2654 thee, H859 I will give H5414 thee another vineyard H3754 for H8478 it : and he answered, H559 I will not H3808 give H5414 thee H853 my vineyard. H3754
7 And Jezebel H348 his wife H802 said H559 unto H413 him , Dost thou H859 now H6258 govern H6213 H5921 the kingdom H4410 of Israel H3478 ? arise, H6965 and eat H398 bread, H3899 and let thine heart H3820 be merry: H3190 I H589 will give H5414 thee H853 the vineyard H3754 of Naboth H5022 the Jezreelite. H3158
8 So she wrote H3789 letters H5612 in Ahab's H256 name, H8034 and sealed H2856 them with his seal, H2368 and sent H7971 the letters H5612 unto H413 the elders H2205 and to H413 the nobles H2715 that H834 were in his city, H5892 dwelling H3427 with H854 Naboth. H5022
9 And she wrote H3789 in the letters, H5612 saying, H559 Proclaim H7121 a fast, H6685 and set H3427 H853 Naboth H5022 on high H7218 among the people: H5971
10 And set H3427 two H8147 men, H376 sons H1121 of Belial, H1100 before H5048 him , to bear witness against H5749 him, saying, H559 Thou didst blaspheme H1288 God H430 and the king. H4428 And then carry him out, H3318 and stone H5619 him , that he may die. H4191
11 And the men H376 of his city, H5892 even the elders H2205 and the nobles H2715 who H834 were the inhabitants H3427 in his city, H5892 did H6213 as H834 Jezebel H348 had sent H7971 unto H413 them, and as H834 it was written H3789 in the letters H5612 which H834 she had sent H7971 unto H413 them.
12 They proclaimed H7121 a fast, H6685 and set H3427 H853 Naboth H5022 on high H7218 among the people. H5971
13 And there came in H935 two H8147 men, H376 children H1121 of Belial, H1100 and sat H3427 before H5048 him : and the men H376 of Belial H1100 witnessed against H5749 him, even against H853 Naboth, H5022 in the presence H5048 of the people, H5971 saying, H559 Naboth H5022 did blaspheme H1288 God H430 and the king. H4428 Then they carried him forth H3318 out of H4480 H2351 the city, H5892 and stoned H5619 him with stones, H68 that he died. H4191
14 Then they sent H7971 to H413 Jezebel, H348 saying, H559 Naboth H5022 is stoned, H5619 and is dead. H4191
15 And it came to pass, H1961 when Jezebel H348 heard H8085 that H3588 Naboth H5022 was stoned, H5619 and was dead, H4191 that Jezebel H348 said H559 to H413 Ahab, H256 Arise, H6965 take possession H3423 of H853 the vineyard H3754 of Naboth H5022 the Jezreelite, H3158 which H834 he refused H3985 to give H5414 thee for money: H3701 for H3588 Naboth H5022 is not H369 alive, H2416 but H3588 dead. H4191
16 And it came to pass, H1961 when Ahab H256 heard H8085 that H3588 Naboth H5022 was dead, H4191 that Ahab H256 rose up H6965 to go down H3381 to H413 the vineyard H3754 of Naboth H5022 the Jezreelite, H3158 to take possession H3423 of it.
17 And the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 to H413 Elijah H452 the Tishbite, H8664 saying, H559
18 Arise H6965 , go down H3381 to meet H7121 Ahab H256 king H4428 of Israel, H3478 which H834 is in Samaria: H8111 behold, H2009 he is in the vineyard H3754 of Naboth, H5022 whither H834 H8033 he is gone down H3381 to possess H3423 it.
19 And thou shalt speak H1696 unto H413 him, saying, H559 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD, H3068 Hast thou killed, H7523 and also H1571 taken possession H3423 ? And thou shalt speak H1696 unto H413 him, saying, H559 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD, H3068 In the place H4725 where H834 dogs H3611 licked H3952 H853 the blood H1818 of Naboth H5022 shall dogs H3611 lick H3952 H853 thy blood, H1818 even H1571 thine. H859
20 And Ahab H256 said H559 to H413 Elijah, H452 Hast thou found H4672 me , O mine enemy H341 ? And he answered, H559 I have found H4672 thee : because H3282 thou hast sold H4376 thyself to work H6213 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD. H3068
21 Behold H2009 , I will bring H935 evil H7451 upon H413 thee , and will take away H1197 thy posterity, H310 and will cut off H3772 from Ahab H256 him that pisseth H8366 against the wall, H7023 and him that is shut up H6113 and left H5800 in Israel, H3478
22 And will make H5414 H853 thine house H1004 like the house H1004 of Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Nebat, H5028 and like the house H1004 of Baasha H1201 the son H1121 of Ahijah, H281 for H413 the provocation H3708 wherewith H834 thou hast provoked me to anger, H3707 and made Israel to sin H2398 H853 H3478 .
23 And of Jezebel H348 also H1571 spoke H1696 the LORD, H3068 saying, H559 The dogs H3611 shall eat H398 H853 Jezebel H348 by the wall H2426 of Jezreel. H3157
24 Him that dieth H4191 of Ahab H256 in the city H5892 the dogs H3611 shall eat; H398 and him that dieth H4191 in the field H7704 shall the fowls H5775 of the air H8064 eat. H398
25 But H7535 there was H1961 none H3808 like unto Ahab, H256 which H834 did sell himself H4376 to work H6213 wickedness H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD, H3068 whom H834 H853 Jezebel H348 his wife H802 stirred up. H5496
26 And he did very H3966 abominably H8581 in following H1980 H310 idols, H1544 according to all H3605 things as H834 did H6213 the Amorites, H567 whom H834 the LORD H3068 cast out H3423 before H4480 H6440 the children H1121 of Israel. H3478
27 And it came to pass, H1961 when Ahab H256 heard H8085 H853 those H428 words, H1697 that he rent H7167 his clothes, H899 and put H7760 sackcloth H8242 upon H5921 his flesh, H1320 and fasted, H6684 and lay H7901 in sackcloth, H8242 and went H1980 softly. H328
28 And the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 to H413 Elijah H452 the Tishbite, H8664 saying, H559
29 Seest H7200 thou how H3588 Ahab H256 humbleth himself H3665 before H4480 H6440 me? because H3282 H3588 he humbleth himself H3665 before H4480 H6440 me , I will not H3808 bring H935 the evil H7451 in his days: H3117 but in his son's H1121 days H3117 will I bring H935 the evil H7451 upon H5921 his house.
