Foretells the destruction of Ahab
the Holy Bible

--1 Kings--

And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, (21:17)

Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which [is] in Samaria: behold, [he is] in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it. (21:18)

And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the Lord, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine. (21:19)

And Ahab said to Elijah, hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found [thee]; because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the Lord. (21:20)

Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, (21:21)

And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked [me] to anger, and made Israel to sin. (21:22)

And of Jezebel also spake the Lord, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel. (21:23)

Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat. (21:24)

But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the Lord, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up. (21:25)

And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all [things] as did the Amorites, whom the Lord cast out before the children of Israel. (21:26)

And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly. (21:27)

And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, (21:28)

Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: [but] in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house. (21:29)

--2 Kings--

Then said [Jehu] to Bidkar his captain, Take up, [and] cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for remember how that, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, the Lord laid this burden upon him; (9:25)

Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith the Lord; and I will requite thee in this plat, saith the Lord. Now therefore take [and] cast him into the plat [of ground], according to the word of the Lord. (9:26)

But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw [this], he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot. [And they did so] at the going up to Gur, which [is] by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there. (9:27)

And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David. (9:28)

And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah. (9:29)

And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard [of it]; and she painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window. (9:30)

And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, [Had] Zimri peace, who slew his master? (9:31)

And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who [is] on my side? who? And there looked out to him two [or] three eunuchs. (9:32)

And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and [some] of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trode her under foot. (9:33)

And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed [woman], and bury her: for she [is] a king's daughter. (9:34)

And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of [her] hands. (9:35)

Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This [is] the word of the Lord, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel: (9:36)

And the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; [so] that they shall not say, This [is] Jezebel. (9:37)
