The History of the People of Israel
in his village consequently prepared the men in the way Aisabel had sent to them in the letter she had written. They proclaimed a feast, and put Naboth at the head of the people, and brought the two villains, and set them against him, and the scouudrels accused Naboth before the people, _ Naboth libelled Gon and the ki¤g.’»’ They consequently dragged him outside the village, and stoned, and murdered him. Then they sent that Naboth has And when Aisabel heard that Naboth was stoned, and killed, then Aisabel said Get up! Seize the vine- yard of Naboth of jezraal, which he refused to sell to you for money, for Naboth is no longer alive,but dead 1 ‘ Gliuly hmwmtczs wml: lubilst seiging £¤h¤ib’s hinzgurh. So when Akhab heard that Naboth
was dead, Akhab arose to go up to the vineyard of Naboth the jezraalite to seize it,but the command of the EvER·· L1v1NG came to Eliah the Tishbite to Arise, go and meet Akhab the king of Israel who is in Shomeron. Meet him at the vineyard of Naboth, which he has gone to seize, and l`hus says the EvER·LIv1NGl_ In the place where the dogs licked the blood of N aboth, the dogs shall lick your blood,——even Have you found me, my enemy ? ’ I have met you, because you have sold yourself to
do evil in the sight of the EvER· LIVING. Hence I bring evil to you, and I send a fire after you, and will cause to out 0E from Akhab every boy, and girl, and nursling in Israel! And I will make your family like the family of jerabam the son of Nebat, and like the family of Basha-ben- Akhira, for the insult with which they insulted and sinned in Israel.
23 And the ~EY·ER—L1vxr:G;_also says to 1`he dogs shall eat Aisabel in the district of jezraal. _‘ Whoever of Akhab is ki—l1ed·in. the city, the dogs shall eat l--—aud whoever ` killed in the iields-,-·~thelowIs of the
25 skies shall devour,—-because there has been none like Akhab who has sold himself to do evil in the sight of the Evmx—1.1vmG with Aisabel his wife; and has foully deliled himself by going after idols, in the way the Amorites did, whom the EVER-LIVING drove from before the children of Israel l ' When, however, Akhab heard these
messages, he tore his robes, and put a sack upon his body, and fasted, and slept in sacltcloth and went sighing. Consequently the message of the
Evan-Lrvmc came to Eliah the Do you see how Akhab humbles himself before me ? Therefore, because he humbles him- self before me, I will not bring the evil in his;days.—-In the days of his 28 son I will bring the evil on his farnily.' (B. c. 899.)
