1  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ after³¹⁰ these⁴²⁸ things,¹⁶⁹⁷ that Naboth⁵⁰²² the Jezreelite³¹⁵⁸ had¹⁹⁶¹ a vineyard,³⁷⁵⁴ which⁸³⁴ was in Jezreel,³¹⁵⁷ hard⁶⁸¹ by the palace¹⁹⁶⁴ of Ahab²⁵⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Samaria.⁸¹¹¹

2  And Ahab²⁵⁶ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ Naboth,⁵⁰²² saying,⁵⁵⁹ Give⁵⁴¹⁴ me ⁸⁵³ thy vineyard,³⁷⁵⁴ that I may have¹⁹⁶¹ it for a garden¹⁵⁸⁸ of herbs,³⁴¹⁹ because³⁵⁸⁸ it¹⁹³¹ is near unto^{7138 681} my house:¹⁰⁰⁴ and I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee for⁸⁴⁷⁸ it a better²⁸⁹⁶ vineyard³⁷⁵⁴ than⁴⁴⁸⁰ it; or, if⁵¹⁸ it seem good to thee,^{2895 5869} I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee the worth⁴²⁴² of it²⁰⁸⁸ in money.³⁷⁰¹

3  And Naboth⁵⁰²² said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ Ahab,²⁵⁶ The LORD^{4480 3068} forbid²⁴⁸⁶ it me, that I should give^{4480 5414 853} the inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ of my fathers¹ unto thee.

4  And Ahab²⁵⁶ came⁹³⁵ into⁴¹³ his house¹⁰⁰⁴ heavy⁵⁶²⁰ and displeased²¹⁹⁸ because⁵⁹²¹ of the word¹⁶⁹⁷ which⁸³⁴ Naboth⁵⁰²² the Jezreelite³¹⁵⁸ had spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ to⁴¹³ him: for he had said,⁵⁵⁹ I will not³⁸⁰⁸ give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee ⁸⁵³ the inheritance⁵¹⁵⁹ of my fathers.¹ And he laid him down⁷⁹⁰¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ his bed,⁴²⁹⁶ and turned away^{5437 853} his face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ and would eat³⁹⁸ no³⁸⁰⁸ bread.³⁸⁹⁹

5  But Jezebel³⁴⁸ his wife⁸⁰² came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ him, and said¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ him, Why^{4100 2088} is thy spirit⁷³⁰⁷ so sad,⁵⁶²⁰ that thou eatest³⁹⁸ no³⁶⁹ bread?³⁸⁹⁹

6  And he said¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ her, Because³⁵⁸⁸ I spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ Naboth⁵⁰²² the Jezreelite,³¹⁵⁸ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Give⁵⁴¹⁴ me ⁸⁵³ thy vineyard³⁷⁵⁴ for money;³⁷⁰¹ or¹⁷⁶ else, if⁵¹⁸ it please²⁶⁵⁴ thee,⁸⁵⁹ I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee another vineyard³⁷⁵⁴ for⁸⁴⁷⁸ it: and he answered,⁵⁵⁹ I will not³⁸⁰⁸ give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee ⁸⁵³ my vineyard.³⁷⁵⁴

7  And Jezebel³⁴⁸ his wife⁸⁰² said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Dost thou⁸⁵⁹ now⁶²⁵⁸ govern^{6213 5921} the kingdom⁴⁴¹⁰ of Israel?³⁴⁷⁸ arise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and eat³⁹⁸ bread,³⁸⁹⁹ and let thine heart³⁸²⁰ be merry:³¹⁹⁰ I⁵⁸⁹ will give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee ⁸⁵³ the vineyard³⁷⁵⁴ of Naboth⁵⁰²² the Jezreelite.³¹⁵⁸

8  So she wrote³⁷⁸⁹ letters⁵⁶¹² in Ahab's²⁵⁶ name,⁸⁰³⁴ and sealed²⁸⁵⁶ them with his seal,²³⁶⁸ and sent⁷⁹⁷¹ the letters⁵⁶¹² unto⁴¹³ the elders²²⁰⁵ and to⁴¹³ the nobles²⁷¹⁵ that⁸³⁴ were in his city,⁵⁸⁹² dwelling³⁴²⁷ with⁸⁵⁴ Naboth.⁵⁰²²

9  And she wrote³⁷⁸⁹ in the letters,⁵⁶¹² saying,⁵⁵⁹ Proclaim⁷¹²¹ a fast,⁶⁶⁸⁵ and set^{3427 853} Naboth⁵⁰²² on high⁷²¹⁸ among the people:⁵⁹⁷¹

10  And set³⁴²⁷ two⁸¹⁴⁷ men,³⁷⁶ sons¹¹²¹ of Belial,¹¹⁰⁰ before⁵⁰⁴⁸ him, to bear witness against⁵⁷⁴⁹ him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thou didst blaspheme¹²⁸⁸ God⁴³⁰ and the king.⁴⁴²⁸ And then carry him out,³³¹⁸ and stone⁵⁶¹⁹ him, that he may die.⁴¹⁹¹

11  And the men³⁷⁶ of his city,⁵⁸⁹² even the elders²²⁰⁵ and the nobles²⁷¹⁵ who⁸³⁴ were the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ in his city,⁵⁸⁹² did⁶²¹³ as⁸³⁴ Jezebel³⁴⁸ had sent⁷⁹⁷¹ unto⁴¹³ them, and as⁸³⁴ it was written³⁷⁸⁹ in the letters⁵⁶¹² which⁸³⁴ she had sent⁷⁹⁷¹ unto⁴¹³ them.

12  They proclaimed⁷¹²¹ a fast,⁶⁶⁸⁵ and set^{3427 853} Naboth⁵⁰²² on high⁷²¹⁸ among the people.⁵⁹⁷¹

13  And there came in⁹³⁵ two⁸¹⁴⁷ men,³⁷⁶ children¹¹²¹ of Belial,¹¹⁰⁰ and sat³⁴²⁷ before⁵⁰⁴⁸ him: and the men³⁷⁶ of Belial¹¹⁰⁰ witnessed against⁵⁷⁴⁹ him, even against ⁸⁵³ Naboth,⁵⁰²² in the presence⁵⁰⁴⁸ of the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Naboth⁵⁰²² did blaspheme¹²⁸⁸ God⁴³⁰ and the king.⁴⁴²⁸ Then they carried him forth³³¹⁸ out of^{4480 2351} the city,⁵⁸⁹² and stoned⁵⁶¹⁹ him with stones,⁶⁸ that he died.⁴¹⁹¹

14  Then they sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to⁴¹³ Jezebel,³⁴⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Naboth⁵⁰²² is stoned,⁵⁶¹⁹ and is dead.⁴¹⁹¹

15  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when Jezebel³⁴⁸ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ Naboth⁵⁰²² was stoned,⁵⁶¹⁹ and was dead,⁴¹⁹¹ that Jezebel³⁴⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ Ahab,²⁵⁶ Arise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ take possession³⁴²³ of ⁸⁵³ the vineyard³⁷⁵⁴ of Naboth⁵⁰²² the Jezreelite,³¹⁵⁸ which⁸³⁴ he refused³⁹⁸⁵ to give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee for money:³⁷⁰¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ Naboth⁵⁰²² is not³⁶⁹ alive,²⁴¹⁶ but³⁵⁸⁸ dead.⁴¹⁹¹

16  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when Ahab²⁵⁶ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ Naboth⁵⁰²² was dead,⁴¹⁹¹ that Ahab²⁵⁶ rose up⁶⁹⁶⁵ to go down³³⁸¹ to⁴¹³ the vineyard³⁷⁵⁴ of Naboth⁵⁰²² the Jezreelite,³¹⁵⁸ to take possession³⁴²³ of it.

17  And the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came¹⁹⁶¹ to⁴¹³ Elijah⁴⁵² the Tishbite,⁸⁶⁶⁴ saying,⁵⁵⁹

18  Arise,⁶⁹⁶⁵ go down³³⁸¹ to meet⁷¹²¹ Ahab²⁵⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ which⁸³⁴ is in Samaria:⁸¹¹¹ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ he is in the vineyard³⁷⁵⁴ of Naboth,⁵⁰²² whither^{834 8033} he is gone down³³⁸¹ to possess³⁴²³ it.

19  And thou shalt speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Hast thou killed,⁷⁵²³ and also¹⁵⁷¹ taken possession?³⁴²³ And thou shalt speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ In the place⁴⁷²⁵ where⁸³⁴ dogs³⁶¹¹ licked^{3952 853} the blood¹⁸¹⁸ of Naboth⁵⁰²² shall dogs³⁶¹¹ lick^{3952 853} thy blood,¹⁸¹⁸ even¹⁵⁷¹ thine.⁸⁵⁹

20  And Ahab²⁵⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ Elijah,⁴⁵² Hast thou found⁴⁶⁷² me, O mine enemy?³⁴¹ And he answered,⁵⁵⁹ I have found⁴⁶⁷² thee: because³²⁸² thou hast sold⁴³⁷⁶ thyself to work⁶²¹³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

21  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I will bring⁹³⁵ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ upon⁴¹³ thee, and will take away¹¹⁹⁷ thy posterity,³¹⁰ and will cut off³⁷⁷² from Ahab²⁵⁶ him that pisseth⁸³⁶⁶ against the wall,⁷⁰²³ and him that is shut up⁶¹¹³ and left⁵⁸⁰⁰ in Israel,³⁴⁷⁸

22  And will make^{5414 853} thine house¹⁰⁰⁴ like the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nebat,⁵⁰²⁸ and like the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Baasha¹²⁰¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Ahijah,²⁸¹ for⁴¹³ the provocation³⁷⁰⁸ wherewith⁸³⁴ thou hast provoked me to anger,³⁷⁰⁷ and made Israel to sin.^{2398 853 3478}

23  And of Jezebel³⁴⁸ also¹⁵⁷¹ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ The dogs³⁶¹¹ shall eat^{398 853} Jezebel³⁴⁸ by the wall²⁴²⁶ of Jezreel.³¹⁵⁷

24  Him that dieth⁴¹⁹¹ of Ahab²⁵⁶ in the city⁵⁸⁹² the dogs³⁶¹¹ shall eat;³⁹⁸ and him that dieth⁴¹⁹¹ in the field⁷⁷⁰⁴ shall the fowls⁵⁷⁷⁵ of the air⁸⁰⁶⁴ eat.³⁹⁸

25  But⁷⁵³⁵ there was¹⁹⁶¹ none³⁸⁰⁸ like unto Ahab,²⁵⁶ which⁸³⁴ did sell himself⁴³⁷⁶ to work⁶²¹³ wickedness⁷⁴⁵¹ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ whom^{834 853} Jezebel³⁴⁸ his wife⁸⁰² stirred up.⁵⁴⁹⁶

26  And he did very³⁹⁶⁶ abominably⁸⁵⁸¹ in following^{1980 310} idols,¹⁵⁴⁴ according to all³⁶⁰⁵ things as⁸³⁴ did⁶²¹³ the Amorites,⁵⁶⁷ whom⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ cast out³⁴²³ before^{4480 6440} the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

27  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when Ahab²⁵⁶ heard^{8085 853} those⁴²⁸ words,¹⁶⁹⁷ that he rent⁷¹⁶⁷ his clothes,⁸⁹⁹ and put⁷⁷⁶⁰ sackcloth⁸²⁴² upon⁵⁹²¹ his flesh,¹³²⁰ and fasted,⁶⁶⁸⁴ and lay⁷⁹⁰¹ in sackcloth,⁸²⁴² and went¹⁹⁸⁰ softly.³²⁸

28  And the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came¹⁹⁶¹ to⁴¹³ Elijah⁴⁵² the Tishbite,⁸⁶⁶⁴ saying,⁵⁵⁹

29  Seest⁷²⁰⁰ thou how³⁵⁸⁸ Ahab²⁵⁶ humbleth himself³⁶⁶⁵ before^{4480 6440} me? because^{3282 3588} he humbleth himself³⁶⁶⁵ before^{4480 6440} me, I will not³⁸⁰⁸ bring⁹³⁵ the evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in his days:³¹¹⁷ but in his son's¹¹²¹ days³¹¹⁷ will I bring⁹³⁵ the evil⁷⁴⁵¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ his house.¹⁰⁰⁴

1 καὶ συνήθροισεν υἱὸς Αδερ πᾶσαν τὴν δύναμιν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνέβη καὶ περιεκάθισεν ἐπὶ Σαμάρειαν καὶ τριάκοντα καὶ δύο βασιλεῖς μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶς ἵππος καὶ ἅρμα καὶ ἀνέβησαν καὶ περιεκάθισαν ἐπὶ Σαμάρειαν καὶ ἐπολέμησαν ἐπ᾽ αὐτήν

2 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς Αχααβ βασιλέα Ισραηλ εἰς τὴν πόλιν

3 καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν τάδε λέγει υἱὸς Αδερ τὸ ἀργύριόν σου καὶ τὸ χρυσίον σου ἐμόν ἐστιν καὶ αἱ γυναῖκές σου καὶ τὰ τέκνα σου ἐμά ἐστιν

4 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ καὶ εἶπεν καθὼς ἐλάλησας κύριε βασιλεῦ σὸς ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐμά

5 καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν οἱ ἄγγελοι καὶ εἶπον τάδε λέγει υἱὸς Αδερ ἐγὼ ἀπέσταλκα πρὸς σὲ λέγων τὸ ἀργύριόν σου καὶ τὸ χρυσίον σου καὶ τὰς γυναῖκάς σου καὶ τὰ τέκνα σου δώσεις ἐμοί

6 ὅτι ταύτην τὴν ὥραν αὔριον ἀποστελῶ τοὺς παῖδάς μου πρὸς σέ καὶ ἐρευνήσουσιν τὸν οἶκόν σου καὶ τοὺς οἴκους τῶν παίδων σου καὶ ἔσται τὰ ἐπιθυμήματα ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτῶν ἐφ᾽ ἃ ἂν ἐπιβάλωσι τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν καὶ λήμψονται

7 καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ πάντας τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους καὶ εἶπεν γνῶτε δὴ καὶ ἴδετε ὅτι κακίαν οὗτος ζητεῖ ὅτι ἀπέσταλκεν πρός με περὶ τῶν γυναικῶν μου καὶ περὶ τῶν υἱῶν μου καὶ περὶ τῶν θυγατέρων μου τὸ ἀργύριόν μου καὶ τὸ χρυσίον μου οὐκ ἀπεκώλυσα ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ

8 καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαός μὴ ἀκούσῃς καὶ μὴ θελήσῃς

9 καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς ἀγγέλοις υἱοῦ Αδερ λέγετε τῷ κυρίῳ ὑμῶν πάντα ὅσα ἀπέσταλκας πρὸς τὸν δοῦλόν σου ἐν πρώτοις ποιήσω τὸ δὲ ῥῆμα τοῦτο οὐ δυνήσομαι ποιῆσαι καὶ ἀπῆραν οἱ ἄνδρες καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν αὐτῷ λόγον

10 καὶ ἀνταπέστειλεν πρὸς αὐτὸν υἱὸς Αδερ λέγων τάδε ποιήσαι μοι ὁ θεὸς καὶ τάδε προσθείη εἰ ἐκποιήσει ὁ χοῦς Σαμαρείας ταῖς ἀλώπεξιν παντὶ τῷ λαῷ τοῖς πεζοῖς μου

11 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ καὶ εἶπεν ἱκανούσθω μὴ καυχάσθω ὁ κυρτὸς ὡς ὁ ὀρθός

12 καὶ ἐγένετο ὅτε ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ τὸν λόγον τοῦτον πίνων ἦν αὐτὸς καὶ πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἐν σκηναῖς καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ οἰκοδομήσατε χάρακα καὶ ἔθεντο χάρακα ἐπὶ τὴν πόλιν

13 καὶ ἰδοὺ προφήτης εἷς προσῆλθεν τῷ βασιλεῖ Ισραηλ καὶ εἶπεν τάδε λέγει κύριος εἰ ἑόρακας πάντα τὸν ὄχλον τὸν μέγαν τοῦτον ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δίδωμι αὐτὸν σήμερον εἰς χεῖρας σάς καὶ γνώσῃ ὅτι ἐγὼ κύριος

14 καὶ εἶπεν Αχααβ ἐν τίνι καὶ εἶπεν τάδε λέγει κύριος ἐν τοῖς παιδαρίοις τῶν ἀρχόντων τῶν χωρῶν καὶ εἶπεν Αχααβ τίς συνάψει τὸν πόλεμον καὶ εἶπεν σύ

15 καὶ ἐπεσκέψατο Αχααβ τὰ παιδάρια τῶν ἀρχόντων τῶν χωρῶν καὶ ἐγένοντο διακόσιοι καὶ τριάκοντα καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐπεσκέψατο τὸν λαόν πᾶν υἱὸν δυνάμεως ἑξήκοντα χιλιάδας

16 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν μεσημβρίας καὶ υἱὸς Αδερ πίνων μεθύων ἐν Σοκχωθ αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ βασιλεῖς τριάκοντα καὶ δύο βασιλεῖς συμβοηθοὶ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ

17 καὶ ἐξῆλθον παιδάρια ἀρχόντων τῶν χωρῶν ἐν πρώτοις καὶ ἀποστέλλουσιν καὶ ἀπαγγέλλουσιν τῷ βασιλεῖ Συρίας λέγοντες ἄνδρες ἐξεληλύθασιν ἐκ Σαμαρείας

18 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς εἰ εἰς εἰρήνην οὗτοι ἐκπορεύονται συλλάβετε αὐτοὺς ζῶντας καὶ εἰ εἰς πόλεμον ζῶντας συλλάβετε αὐτούς

19 καὶ μὴ ἐξελθάτωσαν ἐκ τῆς πόλεως τὰ παιδάρια ἀρχόντων τῶν χωρῶν καὶ ἡ δύναμις ὀπίσω αὐτῶν

20 ἐπάταξεν ἕκαστος τὸν παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐδευτέρωσεν ἕκαστος τὸν παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔφυγεν Συρία καὶ κατεδίωξεν αὐτοὺς Ισραηλ καὶ σῴζεται υἱὸς Αδερ βασιλεὺς Συρίας ἐφ᾽ ἵππου ἱππέως

21 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ καὶ ἔλαβεν πάντας τοὺς ἵππους καὶ τὰ ἅρματα καὶ ἐπάταξεν πληγὴν μεγάλην ἐν Συρίᾳ

22 καὶ προσῆλθεν ὁ προφήτης πρὸς βασιλέα Ισραηλ καὶ εἶπεν κραταιοῦ καὶ γνῶθι καὶ ἰδὲ τί ποιήσεις ὅτι ἐπιστρέφοντος τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ υἱὸς Αδερ βασιλεὺς Συρίας ἀναβαίνει ἐπὶ σέ

23 καὶ οἱ παῖδες βασιλέως Συρίας εἶπον θεὸς ὀρέων θεὸς Ισραηλ καὶ οὐ θεὸς κοιλάδων διὰ τοῦτο ἐκραταίωσεν ὑπὲρ ἡμᾶς ἐὰν δὲ πολεμήσωμεν αὐτοὺς κατ᾽ εὐθύ εἰ μὴ κραταιώσομεν ὑπὲρ αὐτούς

24 καὶ τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο ποίησον ἀπόστησον τοὺς βασιλεῖς ἕκαστον εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῶν καὶ θοῦ ἀντ᾽ αὐτῶν σατράπας

25 καὶ ἀλλάξομέν σοι δύναμιν κατὰ τὴν δύναμιν τὴν πεσοῦσαν ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ ἵππον κατὰ τὴν ἵππον καὶ ἅρματα κατὰ τὰ ἅρματα καὶ πολεμήσομεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς κατ᾽ εὐθὺ καὶ κραταιώσομεν ὑπὲρ αὐτούς καὶ ἤκουσεν τῆς φωνῆς αὐτῶν καὶ ἐποίησεν οὕτως

26 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπιστρέψαντος τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ καὶ ἐπεσκέψατο υἱὸς Αδερ τὴν Συρίαν καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς Αφεκα εἰς πόλεμον ἐπὶ Ισραηλ

27 καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἐπεσκέπησαν καὶ παρεγένοντο εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτῶν καὶ παρενέβαλεν Ισραηλ ἐξ ἐναντίας αὐτῶν ὡσεὶ δύο ποίμνια αἰγῶν καὶ Συρία ἔπλησεν τὴν γῆν

28 καὶ προσῆλθεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ εἶπεν τῷ βασιλεῖ Ισραηλ τάδε λέγει κύριος ἀνθ᾽ ὧν εἶπεν Συρία θεὸς ὀρέων κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ καὶ οὐ θεὸς κοιλάδων αὐτός καὶ δώσω τὴν δύναμιν τὴν μεγάλην ταύτην εἰς χεῖρα σήν καὶ γνώσῃ ὅτι ἐγὼ κύριος

29 καὶ παρεμβάλλουσιν οὗτοι ἀπέναντι τούτων ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ καὶ προσήγαγεν ὁ πόλεμος καὶ ἐπάταξεν Ισραηλ τὴν Συρίαν ἑκατὸν χιλιάδας πεζῶν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ

30 καὶ ἔφυγον οἱ κατάλοιποι εἰς Αφεκα εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ ἔπεσεν τὸ τεῖχος ἐπὶ εἴκοσι καὶ ἑπτὰ χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν τῶν καταλοίπων καὶ υἱὸς Αδερ ἔφυγεν καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ κοιτῶνος εἰς τὸ ταμίειον

31 καὶ εἶπεν τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ οἶδα ὅτι βασιλεῖς Ισραηλ βασιλεῖς ἐλέους εἰσίν ἐπιθώμεθα δὴ σάκκους ἐπὶ τὰς ὀσφύας ἡμῶν καὶ σχοινία ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς ἡμῶν καὶ ἐξέλθωμεν πρὸς βασιλέα Ισραηλ εἴ πως ζωογονήσει τὰς ψυχὰς ἡμῶν

32 καὶ περιεζώσαντο σάκκους ἐπὶ τὰς ὀσφύας αὐτῶν καὶ ἔθεσαν σχοινία ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν καὶ εἶπον τῷ βασιλεῖ Ισραηλ δοῦλός σου υἱὸς Αδερ λέγει ζησάτω δὴ ἡ ψυχή μου καὶ εἶπεν εἰ ἔτι ζῇ ἀδελφός μού ἐστιν

33 καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες οἰωνίσαντο καὶ ἔσπευσαν καὶ ἀνέλεξαν τὸν λόγον ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπον ἀδελφός σου υἱὸς Αδερ καὶ εἶπεν εἰσέλθατε καὶ λάβετε αὐτόν καὶ ἐξῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτὸν υἱὸς Αδερ καὶ ἀναβιβάζουσιν αὐτὸν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸ ἅρμα

34 καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν τὰς πόλεις ἃς ἔλαβεν ὁ πατήρ μου παρὰ τοῦ πατρός σου ἀποδώσω σοι καὶ ἐξόδους θήσεις σαυτῷ ἐν Δαμασκῷ καθὼς ἔθετο ὁ πατήρ μου ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ καὶ ἐγὼ ἐν διαθήκῃ ἐξαποστελῶ σε καὶ διέθετο αὐτῷ διαθήκην καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν αὐτόν

35 καὶ ἄνθρωπος εἷς ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν τῶν προφητῶν εἶπεν πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ ἐν λόγῳ κυρίου πάταξον δή με καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος πατάξαι αὐτόν

36 καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν ἀνθ᾽ ὧν οὐκ ἤκουσας τῆς φωνῆς κυρίου ἰδοὺ σὺ ἀποτρέχεις ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ καὶ πατάξει σε λέων καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ εὑρίσκει αὐτὸν λέων καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτόν

37 καὶ εὑρίσκει ἄνθρωπον ἄλλον καὶ εἶπεν πάταξόν με δή καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν ὁ ἄνθρωπος πατάξας καὶ συνέτριψεν

38 καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὁ προφήτης καὶ ἔστη τῷ βασιλεῖ Ισραηλ ἐπὶ τῆς ὁδοῦ καὶ κατεδήσατο τελαμῶνι τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ

39 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ὁ βασιλεὺς παρεπορεύετο καὶ οὗτος ἐβόα πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα καὶ εἶπεν ὁ δοῦλός σου ἐξῆλθεν ἐπὶ τὴν στρατιὰν τοῦ πολέμου καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ εἰσήγαγεν πρός με ἄνδρα καὶ εἶπεν πρός με φύλαξον τοῦτον τὸν ἄνδρα ἐὰν δὲ ἐκπηδῶν ἐκπηδήσῃ καὶ ἔσται ἡ ψυχή σου ἀντὶ τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ ἢ τάλαντον ἀργυρίου στήσεις

40 καὶ ἐγενήθη περιεβλέψατο ὁ δοῦλός σου ὧδε καὶ ὧδε καὶ οὗτος οὐκ ἦν καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ ἰδοὺ καὶ τὰ ἔνεδρα παρ᾽ ἐμοὶ ἐφόνευσας

41 καὶ ἔσπευσεν καὶ ἀφεῖλεν τὸν τελαμῶνα ἀπὸ τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπέγνω αὐτὸν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ ὅτι ἐκ τῶν προφητῶν οὗτος

42 καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν τάδε λέγει κύριος διότι ἐξήνεγκας σὺ ἄνδρα ὀλέθριον ἐκ χειρός σου καὶ ἔσται ἡ ψυχή σου ἀντὶ τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ ὁ λαός σου ἀντὶ τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ

43 καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ συγκεχυμένος καὶ ἐκλελυμένος καὶ ἔρχεται εἰς Σαμάρειαν

Vul

1 Post verba autem hæc, tempore illo vinea erat Naboth Jezrahelitæ, quæ erat in Jezrahel, juxta palatium Achab regis Samariæ.

2 Locutus est ergo Achab ad Naboth, dicens: Da mihi vineam tuam, ut faciam mihi hortum olerum, quia vicina est, et prope domum meam: daboque tibi pro ea vineam meliorem, aut si commodius tibi putas, argenti pretium, quanto digna est.

3 Cui respondit Naboth: Propitius sit mihi Dominus, ne dem hæreditatem patrum meorum tibi.

4 Venit ergo Achab in domum suam indignans, et frendens super verbo quod locutus fuerat ad eum Naboth Jezrahelites, dicens: Non dabo tibi hæreditatem patrum meorum. Et projiciens se in lectulum suum, avertit faciem suam ad parietem, et non comedit panem.

5 Ingressa est autem ad eum Jezabel uxor sua, dixitque ei: Quid est hoc, unde anima tua contristata est? et quare non comedis panem?

6 Qui respondit ei: Locutus sum Naboth Jezrahelitæ, et dixi ei: Da mihi vineam tuam, accepta pecunia: aut, si tibi placet, dabo tibi vineam meliorem pro ea. Et ille ait: Non dabo tibi vineam meam.

7 Dixit ergo ad eum Jezabel uxor ejus: Grandis auctoritatis es, et bene regis regnum Israël. Surge, et comede panem, et æquo animo esto: ego dabo tibi vineam Naboth Jezrahelitæ.

8 Scripsit itaque litteras ex nomine Achab, et signavit eas annulo ejus, et misit ad majores natu, et optimates, qui erant in civitate ejus, et habitabant cum Naboth.

9 Litterarum autem hæc erat sententia: Prædicate jejunium, et sedere facite Naboth inter primos populi:

10 et submittite duos viros filios Belial contra eum, et falsum testimonium dicant: Benedixit Deum et regem: et educite eum, et lapidate, sicque moriatur.

11 Fecerunt ergo cives ejus majores natu et optimates, qui habitabant cum eo in urbe, sicut præceperat eis Jezabel, et sicut scriptum erat in litteris quas miserat ad eos:

12 prædicaverunt jejunium, et sedere fecerunt Naboth inter primos populi.

13 Et adductis duobus viris filiis diaboli, fecerunt eos sedere contra eum: at illi, scilicet ut viri diabolici, dixerunt contra eum testimonium coram multitudine: Benedixit Naboth Deum et regem: quam ob rem eduxerunt eum extra civitatem, et lapidibus interfecerunt.

14 Miseruntque ad Jezabel, dicentes: Lapidatus est Naboth, et mortuus est.

15 Factum est autem, cum audisset Jezabel lapidatum Naboth et mortuum, locuta est ad Achab: Surge, et posside vineam Naboth Jezrahelitæ, qui noluit tibi acquiescere, et dare eam accepta pecunia: non enim vivit Naboth, sed mortuus est.

16 Quod cum audisset Achab, mortuum videlicet Naboth, surrexit, et descendebat in vineam Naboth Jezrahelitæ, ut possideret eam.

17 Factum est igitur sermo Domini ad Eliam Thesbiten, dicens:

18 Surge, et descende in occursum Achab regis Israël, qui est in Samaria: ecce ad vineam Naboth descendit, ut possideat eam.

19 Et loqueris ad eum, dicens: Hæc dicit Dominus: Occidisti, insuper et possedisti. Et post hæc addes: Hæc dicit Dominus: In loco hoc, in quo linxerunt canes sanguinem Naboth, lambent quoque sanguinem tuum.

20 Et ait Achab ad Eliam: Num invenisti me inimicum tibi? Qui dixit: Inveni, eo quod venundatus sis, ut faceres malum in conspectu Domini.

21 Ecce ego inducam super te malum, et demetam posteriora tua, et interficiam de Achab mingentem ad parietem, et clausum et ultimum in Israël.

22 Et dabo domum tuam sicut domum Jeroboam filii Nabat, et sicut domum Baasa filii Ahia: quia egisti ut me ad iracundiam provocares, et peccare fecisti Israël.

23 Sed et de Jezabel locutus est Dominus, dicens: Canes comedent Jezabel in agro Jezrahel.

24 Si mortuus fuerit Achab in civitate, comedent eum canes: si autem mortuus fuerit in agro, comedent eum volucres cæli.

25 Igitur non fuit alter talis sicut Achab, qui venundatus est ut faceret malum in conspectu Domini: concitavit enim eum Jezabel uxor sua,

26 et abominabilis factus est, in tantum ut sequeretur idola quæ fecerant Amorrhæi, quos consumpsit Dominus a facie filiorum Israël.

27 Itaque cum audisset Achab sermones istos, scidit vestimenta sua, et operuit cilicio carnem suam, jejunavitque et dormivit in sacco, et ambulavit demisso capite.

28 Et factus est sermo Domini ad Eliam Thesbiten, dicens:

29 Nonne vidisti humiliatum Achab coram me? quia igitur humiliatus est mei causa, non inducam malum in diebus ejus, sed in diebus filii sui inferam malum domui ejus.
