1 Kin 21:17 ¶ Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
1 Kin 21:18 "Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who is in Samaria; behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth where he has gone down to take possession of it.
1 Kin 21:19 "You shall speak to him, saying, 'Thus says the LORD, "Have you murdered and also taken possession?"' And you shall speak to him, saying, 'Thus says the LORD, "In the place where the dogs licked up the blood of Naboth the dogs will lick up your blood, even yours.""'
1 Kin 21:20 ¶ Ahab said to Elijah, "Have you found me, O my enemy?" And he answered, "I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do evil in the sight of the LORD.
1 Kin 21:21 "Behold, I will bring evil upon you, and will utterly sweep you away, and will cut off from Ahab every male, both bond and free in Israel;
1 Kin 21:23 "Of Jezebel also has the LORD spoken, saying, 'The dogs will eat Jezebel in the district of Jezreel.'
1 Kin 21:24 "The one belonging to Ahab, who dies in the city, the dogs will eat, and the one who dies in the field the birds of heaven will eat."
1 Kin 21:25 ¶ Surely there was no one like Ahab who sold himself to do evil in the sight of the LORD, because Jezebel his wife incited him.
1 Kin 21:26 He acted very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites had done, whom the LORD cast out before the sons of Israel.
1 Kin 21:27 ¶ It came about when Ahab heard these words, that he tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and fasted, and he lay in sackcloth and went about despondently.
1 Kin 21:28 Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
1 Kin 21:29 "Do you see how Ahab has humbled himself before Me? Because he has humbled himself before Me, I will not bring the evil in his days, but I will bring the evil upon his house in his son's days."
1 Kin 22:1 Three years passed without war between Aram and Israel.
1 Kin 22:2 In the third year Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
1 Kin 22:3 Now the king of Israel said to his servants, "Do you know that Ramoth-gilead belongs to us, and we are still doing nothing to take it out of the hand of the king of Aram?"
1 Kin 22:5 ¶ Moreover, Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "Please inquire first for the word of the LORD."
1 Kin 22:6 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, "Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead to battle or shall I refrain?" And they said, "Go up, for the Lord will give it into the hand of the king."
1 Kin 22:7 But Jehoshaphat said, "Is there not yet a prophet of the LORD here that we may inquire of him?"
1 Kin 22:8 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD, but I hate him, because he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. He is Micaiah son of Imlah." But Jehoshaphat said, "Let not the king say so."
1 Kin 22:9 Then the king of Israel called an officer and said, "Bring quickly Micaiah son of Imlah."
