And the Word of Jehovah came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

Rise up, Go down to meet Ahab the king of Israel, who is in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to possess it.

And you shall speak to him, saying, So says Jehovah, Have you murdered, and also taken possession? And you shall speak to him, saying, So says Jehovah, In the place where the dogs lick the blood of Naboth, so the dogs shall lick your blood,even yours.

And Ahab said to Elijah, Have you found me, O my enemy? And he said, I have found you , because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in the eyes of Jehovah.

Behold, I shall bring evil on you, and shall take away your posterity, and cut off to Ahab him who urinates against a wall, both bond and free in Israel.

And I shall give up your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, because of the provocation with which you have provoked to anger, and have caused Israel to sin.

And also Jehovah has spoken of Jezebel, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.

He who dies of Ahab in the city, the dogs shall eat. And the birds of the heaven shall eat him who dies in a field.
