Ahab Covets Naboth’s Vineyard

1 [LXX 20:1] And it happened after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, close by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

1 [LXX 20:1] καὶ ἀμπελὼν εἷς ἦν τῷ Ναβουθαὶ τῷ Ἰεζραηλίτῃ παρὰ τῷ ἅλῳ Ἀχαὰβ βασιλέως Σαμαρείας. 1 [LXX 20:1] Καὶ ἀμπελὼν εἷς ἦν τῷ Ναβουθαὶ τῷ Ἰεζραηλίτῃ παρὰ τῇ ἅλῳ Ἀχαὰβ βασιλέως Σαμαρείας.
1 [LXX 20:1] Nabouthai the Jezraēlite had one vineyard beside the threshing floor of King Achaab of Samaria. 1 [LXX 20:1] Nabouthai the Jezraēlite had one vineyard beside the threshing floor of King Achaab of Samaria.

2 [LXX 20:2] And Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near to my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to you, I will give you the worth of it in money.

2 [LXX 20:2] καὶ ἐλάλησεν Ἀχαὰβ πρὸς Ναβουθαὶ λέγων δός μοι τὸν ἀμπελῶνά σου καὶ ἔσται μοι εἰς κῆπον λαχάνων, ὅτι ἐγγίων οὗτος τῷ οἴκῳ μου, καὶ δώσω σοί ἀμπελῶνα ἄλλον ἀγαθὸν ὑπὲρ αὐτόν· εἰ δὲ ἀρέσκει ἐνώπιόν σου, δώσω σοί ἀργύριον ἀντάλλαγμα τοῦ ἀμπελῶνός σου τούτου, καὶ ἔσται μοι εἰς κῆπον λαχάνων. 2 [LXX 20:2] καὶ ἐλάλησεν Ἀχαὰβ πρὸς Ναβουθαὶ λέγων· δός μοι τὸν ἀμπελῶνά σου καὶ ἔσται μοι εἰς κῆπον λαχάνων, ὅτι ἐγγίζων οὗτος τῷ οἴκῳ μου, καὶ δώσω σοι ἀμπελῶνα ἄλλον ἀγαθὸν ὑπὲρ αὐτόν· εἰ δὲ ἀρέσκει ἐνώπιόν σου, δώσω σοι ἀργύριον ἄλλαγμα ἀμπελῶνός σου τούτου, καὶ ἔσται μοι εἰς κῆπον λαχάνων.
2 [LXX 20:2] And Achaab spoke to Nabouthai, saying, “Give me your vineyard, and it will be for my vegetable garden because it is nearer my house, and I will give you another good vineyard for it. But if it is pleasing in your view, I will give you silver in exchange for this vineyard of yours, and it will be my vegetable garden.” 2 [LXX 20:2] And Achaab spoke to Nabouthai, saying, “Give me your vineyard, and it will be for my vegetable garden because it is nearer my house, and I will give you another good vineyard for it. But if it is pleasing in your view, I will give you silver in exchange for this vineyard of yours, and it will be my vegetable garden.”

3 [LXX 20:3] And Naboth said to Ahab, Yahweh forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you.

3 [LXX 20:3] καὶ εἶπεν Ναβουθαὶ πρὸς Ἀχαὰβ μή μοι γένοιτο παρὰ θεοῦ μου δοῦναι κληρονομίαν πατέρων μου σοὶ. 3 [LXX 20:3] καὶ εἶπε Ναβουθαὶ πρὸς Ἀχαάβ· μὴ γένοιτό μοι παρὰ Θεοῦ μου δοῦναι κληρονομίαν πατέρων μου σοὶ.
3 [LXX 20:3] And Nabouthai said to Achaab, “May it not become to me by my God to give my fathers’ inheritance to you.” 3 [LXX 20:3] And Nabouthai said to Achaab, “May it not become to me by my God to give my fathers’ inheritance to you.”

4 [LXX 20:4] And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him. for he had said, I won’t give you the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.

4 [LXX 20:4] καὶ ἐγένετο τὸ πνεῦμα Ἀχαὰβ τεταραγμένον, καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐπὶ τῆς κλίνης αὐτοῦ καὶ συνεκάλυψεν τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἔφαγεν ἄρτον. 4 [LXX 20:4] καὶ ἐγένετο τὸ πνεῦμα Ἀχαὰβ τεταραγμένον, καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐπὶ τῆς κλίνης αὐτοῦ καὶ συνεκάλυψε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἔφαγεν ἄρτον.
4 [LXX 20:4] And the spirit of Achaab became troubled, and he lay down on his bed, and covered his face, and didn’t eat bread. 4 [LXX 20:4] And the spirit of Achaab became troubled, and he lay down on his bed, and covered his face, and didn’t eat bread.

5 [LXX 20:5] But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, Why is your spirit so sad, that you eat no bread?

5 [LXX 20:5] καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἰεζάβελ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς αὐτόν τί τὸ πνεῦμά σου τεταραγμένον καὶ οὐκ εἶ σὺ ἐσθίων ἄρτον; 5 [LXX 20:5] καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἰεζάβελ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ ἐλάλησε πρὸς αὐτόν· τί τὸ πνεῦμά σου τεταραγμένον καὶ οὐκ εἶ σὺ ἐσθίων ἄρτον;
5 [LXX 20:5] And Jezabel his wife went in to him, and spoke to him, “Why is your spirit troubled, and why don’t you eat bread?” 5 [LXX 20:5] And Jezabel his wife went in to him, and spoke to him, “Why is your spirit troubled, and why don’t you eat bread?”

6 [LXX 20:6] And he said to her, Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it please you, I will give you another vineyard for it; and he answered, I won’t give you my vineyard.

6 [LXX 20:6] καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτήν ὅτι ἐλάλησα πρὸς Ναβουθαὶ τὸν Ἰεζραηλίτην λέγων δός μοι τὸν ἀμπελῶνά σου ἀργυρίου· εἰ δὲ βούλει, δώσω σοί ἀμπελῶνα ἄλλον ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἶπεν οὐ δώσω σοί κληρονομίαν πατέρων μου. 6 [LXX 20:6] καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτήν, ὅτι ἐλάλησα πρὸς Ναβουθαὶ τὸν Ἰεζραηλίτην λέγων· δός μοι τὸν ἀμπελῶνά σου ἀργυρίου· εἰ δὲ βούλῃ, δώσω σοι ἀμπελῶνα ἄλλον ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἶπε· οὐ δώσω σοι κληρονομίαν πατέρων μου.
6 [LXX 20:6] And he said to her, “Because I spoke to Nabouthai the Jezraēlite, saying, ‛Give me your vineyard for money; or if you want, I will give you another vineyard for it:’ and he said, ‛I won’t give you the inheritance of my fathers.’ ” 6 [LXX 20:6] And he said to her, “Because I spoke to Nabouthai the Jezraēlite, saying, ‛Give me your vineyard for money; or if you want, I will give you another vineyard for it:’ and he said, ‛I won’t give you the inheritance of my fathers.’ ”

7 [LXX 20:7] And Jezebel his wife said to him, Do you now govern the kingdom of Israēl? arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry: I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.

7 [LXX 20:7] καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἰεζάβελ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ σὺ νῦν οὕτως ποιεῖς βασιλέα ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ;
ἀνάστηθι φάγε ἄρτον καὶ σαυτοῦ γενοῦ· ἐγὼ δώσω σοί τὸν ἀμπελῶνα Ναβουθαὶ Ἰεζραηλίτου.
7 [LXX 20:7] καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἰεζάβελ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ· σὺ νῦν οὕτω ποιεῖς βασιλέα ἐπὶ Ἰσραήλ;
ἀνάστηθι καὶ φάγε ἄρτον καὶ σαυτοῦ γενοῦ, ἐγὼ δὲ δώσω σοι τὸν ἀμπελῶνα Ναβουθαὶ τοῦ Ἰεζραηλίτου.
7 [LXX 20:7] And Jezabel his wife said to him, “Are you now thus acting the king over Israēl? Arise, eat bread, and become yourself. I will give you the vineyard of Nabouthai the Jezraēlite.” 7 [LXX 20:7] And Jezabel his wife said to him, “Are you now thus acting the king over Israēl? Arise, eat bread, and become yourself. I will give you the vineyard of Nabouthai the Jezraēlite.”

8 [LXX 20:8] So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.

8 [LXX 20:8] καὶ ἔγραψεν βιβλίον ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι Ἀχαὰβ καὶ ἐσφραγίσατο τῇ σφραγῖδι αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπέστειλεν τὸ βιβλίον πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους καὶ τοὺς ἐλευθέρους τοὺς κατοικοῦντας μετὰ Ναβουθαί. 8 [LXX 20:8] καὶ ἔγραψε βιβλίον ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι Ἀχαὰβ καὶ ἐσφραγίσατο τῇ σφραγίδι αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπέστειλε τὸ βιβλίον πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους καὶ τοὺς ἐλευθέρους τοὺς κατοικοῦντας μετὰ Ναβουθαί.
8 [LXX 20:8] And she wrote a letter in the name of Achaab, and sealed it with his seal, and sent the letter to the elders, and to the freemen who dwelt with Nabouthai. 8 [LXX 20:8] And she wrote a letter in the name of Achaab, and sealed it with his seal, and sent the letter to the elders, and to the freemen who dwelt with Nabouthai.

9 [LXX 20:9] And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

9 [LXX 20:9] καὶ ἐγέγραπτο ἐν τοῖς βιβλίοις λέγων νηστεύσατε νηστείαν καὶ καθίσατε τὸν Ναβουθαὶ ἐν ἀρχῇ τοῦ λαοῦ· 9 [LXX 20:9] καὶ ἐγέγραπτο ἐν τοῖς βιβλίοις λέγων· νηστεύσατε νηστείαν καὶ καθίσατε τὸν Ναβουθαὶ ἐν ἀρχῇ τοῦ λαοῦ·
9 [LXX 20:9] And it had been written in the letters, saying, “Fast a fast, and set Naboth in front of the people.” 9 [LXX 20:9] And it had been written in the letters, saying, “Fast a fast, and set Naboth in front of the people.”

10 [LXX 20:10] And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to carry witness against him, saying, You blasphemed God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.

10 [LXX 20:10] καὶ ἐγκαθίσατε δύο ἄνδρας υἱοὺς παρανόμων ἐξ ἐναντίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ καταμαρτυρησάτωσαν αὐτοῦ λέγοντες ηὐλόγησεν θεὸν καὶ βασιλέα· καὶ ἐξαγαγέτωσαν αὐτὸν καὶ λιθοβολησάτωσαν αὐτόν, καὶ ἀποθανέτω. 10 [LXX 20:10] καὶ ἐγκαθίσατε δύο ἄνδρας υἱοὺς παρανόμων ἐξεναντίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ καταμαρτυρησάτωσαν αὐτοῦ λέγοντες· ηὐλόγησε Θεὸν καὶ βασιλέα· καὶ ἐξαγαγέτωσαν αὐτὸν καὶ λιθοβολησάτωσαν αὐτόν, καὶ ἀποθανέτω.
10 [LXX 20:10] And set two men, sons of lawbreakers, opposite him, and let them testify against him, saying, “He blessed[1]God and king; and let them lead him out, and stone him, and let him die.” 10 [LXX 20:10] And set two men, sons of lawbreakers, opposite him, and let them testify against him, saying, “He blessed[1]God and king; and let them lead him out, and stone him, and let him die.”

Jezebel’s Plot

11 [LXX 20:11] And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them.

11 [LXX 20:11] καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ ἄνδρες τῆς πόλεως αὐτοῦ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι καὶ οἱ ἐλεύθεροι οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν τῇ πόλει αὐτοῦ καθὰ ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς Ἰεζάβελ, καθὰ γέγραπται ἐν τοῖς βιβλίοις, οἷς ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς αὐτούς. 11 [LXX 20:11] καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ ἄνδρες τῆς πόλεως αὐτοῦ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι καὶ οἱ ἐλεύθεροι οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν τῇ πόλει αὐτοῦ, καθὼς ἀπέστειλε πρὸς αὐτοὺς Ἰεζάβελ καὶ καθὰ ἐγέγραπτο ἐν τοῖς βιβλίοις, οἷς ἀπέστειλε πρὸς αὐτούς.
11 [LXX 20:11] And the men of his city, the elders, and the freemen who dwelt in his city, did as Jezabel sent to them, as it had been written in the letters which she sent to them. 11 [LXX 20:11] And the men of his city, the elders, and the freemen who dwelt in his city, did as Jezabel sent to them, as it had been written in the letters which she sent to them.

12 [LXX 20:12] They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

12 [LXX 20:12] ἐκάλεσαν νηστείαν καὶ ἐκάθισαν τὸν Ναβουθαὶ ἐν ἀρχῇ τοῦ λαοῦ, 12 [LXX 20:12] καὶ ἐκάλεσαν νηστείαν καὶ ἐκάθισαν τὸν Ναβουθαὶ ἐν ἀρχῇ τοῦ λαοῦ,
12 [LXX 20:12] And they called a fast, and set Nebuthai in front of the people. 12 [LXX 20:12] And they called a fast, and set Nebuthai in front of the people.

13 [LXX 20:13] And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him; and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.

13 [LXX 20:13] καὶ ἦλθον δύο ἄνδρες υἱοὶ παρανόμων καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐξ ἐναντίας αὐτοῦ καὶ κατεμαρτύρησαν αὐτοῦ λέγοντες ηὐλόγηκας θεὸν καὶ βασιλέα· καὶ ἐξήγαγον αὐτὸν ἔξω τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἐλιθοβόλησαν αὐτὸν λίθοις, καὶ ἀπέθανεν. 13 [LXX 20:13] καὶ εἰσῆλθον δύο ἄνδρες υἱοὶ παρανόμων καὶ ἐκάθισαν ἐξεναντίας αὐτοῦ καὶ κατεμαρτύρησαν αὐτοῦ λέγοντες· ηὐλόγηκας Θεὸν καὶ βασιλέα· καὶ ἐξήγαγον αὐτὸν ἔξω τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἐλιθοβόλησαν αὐτὸν ἐν λίθοις, καὶ ἀπέθανε.
13 [LXX 20:13] And two men, sons of lawbreakers, came and sat opposite him, and brought witness against him, saying, “You have blessed[1]God and the king.” And they led him out of the city, and stoned him with stones, and he died. 13 [LXX 20:13] And two men, sons of lawbreakers, came and sat opposite him, and brought witness against him, saying, “You have blessed[1]God and the king.” And they led him out of the city, and stoned him with stones, and he died.

14 [LXX 20:14] Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.

14 [LXX 20:14] καὶ ἀπέστειλαν πρὸς Ἰεζάβελ λέγοντες λελιθοβόληται Ναβουθαὶ καὶ τέθνηκεν. 14 [LXX 20:14] καὶ ἀπέστειλαν πρὸς Ἰεζάβελ λέγοντες· λελιθοβόληται Ναβουθαὶ καὶ τέθνηκε.
14 [LXX 20:14] And they sent to Jezabel, saying, “Nabouthai has been stoned, and is dead.” 14 [LXX 20:14] And they sent to Jezabel, saying, “Nabouthai has been stoned, and is dead.”

15 [LXX 20:15] And it happened, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.

15 [LXX 20:15] καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν Ἰεζάβελ, καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς Ἀχαὰβ ἀνάστα κληρονόμει τὸν ἀμπελῶνα Ναβουθαὶ τοῦ Ἰεζραηλίτου, ὃς οὐκ ἔδωκέν σοί ἀργυρίου, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν Ναβουθαὶ ζῶν, ὅτι τέθνηκεν. 15 [LXX 20:15] καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν Ἰεζάβελ, καὶ εἶπε πρὸς Ἀχαάβ· ἀνάστα, κληρονόμει τὸν ἀμπελῶνα Ναβουθαὶ τοῦ Ἰεζραηλίτου, ὃς οὐκ ἔδωκέ σοι ἀργυρίου, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστι Ναβουθαὶ ζῶν, ὅτι τέθνηκε.
15 [LXX 20:15] And it happened, as Jezabel heard it, that she said to Achaab, “Arise, possess the vineyard of Nabouthai the Jezraēlite, who would not give it to you for money; for Nebuthai is not alive, because he is dead.” 15 [LXX 20:15] And it happened, as Jezabel heard it, that she said to Achaab, “Arise, possess the vineyard of Nabouthai the Jezraēlite, who would not give it to you for money; for Nebuthai is not alive, because he is dead.”

16 [LXX 20:16] And it happened, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.

16 [LXX 20:16] καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν Ἀχαὰβ ὅτι τέθνηκεν Ναβουθαὶ Ἰεζραηλίτης, καὶ διέρρηξεν τὰ ἱμάτια ἑαυτοῦ καὶ περιεβάλετο σάκκον· καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ κατέβη Ἀχαὰβ εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα Ναβουθαὶ τοῦ Ἰεζραηλίτου κληρονομῆσαι αὐτόν. 16 [LXX 20:16] καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν Ἀχαὰβ ὅτι τέθνηκε Ναβουθαὶ Ἰεζραηλίτης, καὶ διέρρηξε τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καὶ περιεβάλετο σάκκον· καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ κατέβη Ἀχαὰβ εἰς τὸν ἀμπελῶνα Ναβουθαὶ τοῦ Ἰεζραηλίτου κληρονομῆσαι αὐτόν.
16 [LXX 20:16] And it happened, when Achaab heard that Nabouthai the Jezraēlite was dead, that he rent his garments, and put on sackcloth. And it happened after this, that Achaab arose and went down to the vineyard of Nabouthai the Jezraēlite, to possess it. 16 [LXX 20:16] And it happened, when Achaab heard that Nabouthai the Jezraēlite was dead, that he rent his garments, and put on sackcloth. And it happened after this, that Achaab arose and went down to the vineyard of Nabouthai the Jezraēlite, to possess it.

17 [LXX 20:17] And the word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

17 [LXX 20:17] καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Ἠλίου τὸν Θεσβίτην λέγων 17 [LXX 20:17] Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Ἠλιοὺ τὸν Θεσβίτην λέγων·
17 [LXX 20:17] And the Lord spoke to Ēliou the Thesbitē, saying, 17 [LXX 20:17] And the Lord spoke to Ēliou the Thesbitē, saying,

18 [LXX 20:18] Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israēl, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, to which he is gone down to possess it.

18 [LXX 20:18] ἀνάστηθι καὶ κατάβηθι εἰς ἀπαντὴν Ἀχαὰβ βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ τοῦ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ· ἰδοὺ οὗτος ἐν ἀμπελῶνι Ναβουθαί, ὅτι καταβέβηκεν ἐκεῖ κληρονομῆσαι αὐτόν. 18 [LXX 20:18] ἀνάστηθι καὶ κατάβηθι εἰς ἀπαντὴν Ἀχαὰβ βασιλέως Ἰσραὴλ τοῦ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ, ὅτι οὗτος ἐν ἀμπελῶνι Ναβουθαί, ὅτι καταβέβηκεν ἐκεῖ κληρονομῆσαι αὐτόν.
18 [LXX 20:18] “Arise, and go down to meet Achaab king of Israēl, who is in Samaria, behold this one is in the vineyard of Nabouthai, for he has gone down there to possess it. 18 [LXX 20:18] “Arise, and go down to meet Achaab king of Israēl, who is in Samaria, because this one is in the vineyard of Nabouthai, for he has gone down there to possess it.

19 [LXX 20:19] And you shall speak to him, saying, Thus says Yahweh, Have you killed, and also taken possession? And you shall speak to him, saying, Thus says Yahweh, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick your blood, even yours.

19 [LXX 20:19] καὶ λαλήσεις πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγων τάδε λέγει κύριος ὡς σὺ ἐφόνευσας καὶ ἐκληρονόμησας, διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ, ἔλειξαν αἱ ὕες καὶ οἱ κύνες τὸ αἷμα Ναβουθαί, ἐκεῖ λείξουσιν οἱ κύνες τὸ αἷμά σου, καὶ αἱ πόρναι λούσονται ἐν τῷ αἵματί σου. 19 [LXX 20:19] καὶ λαλήσεις πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγων· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ὡς σὺ ἐφόνευσας καὶ ἐκληρονόμησας, διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ, ἔλειξαν αἱ ὕες καὶ οἱ κύνες τὸ αἷμα Ναβουθαί, ἐκεῖ λείξουσιν οἱ κύνες τὸ αἷμα σου, καὶ αἱ πόρναι λούσονται ἐν τῷ αἵματί σου.
19 [LXX 20:19] And you shall speak to him, saying, Thus the Lord says, As you have murdered and taken possession, therefore thus the Lord says, In every place where the pigs and the dogs licked the blood of Nabouthai, there the dogs will lick your blood; and the protitutes shall wash themselves in your blood.” 19 [LXX 20:19] And you shall speak to him, saying, Thus the Lord says, As you have murdered and taken possession, therefore thus the Lord says, In every place where the pigs and the dogs licked the blood of Nabouthai, there the dogs will lick your blood; and the protitutes shall wash themselves in your blood.”

20 [LXX 20:20] And Ahab said to Elijah, Have you found me, Oh my enemy? And he answered, I have found you: because you have sold yourself to work evil in the sight of Yahweh.

20 [LXX 20:20] καὶ εἶπεν Ἀχαὰβ πρὸς Ἠλίου εἰ εὕρηκάς με, ἐχθρός μου;
καὶ εἶπεν εὕρηκα, διότι μάτην πέπρασαι ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον κυρίου παροργίσαι αὐτόν.
20 [LXX 20:20] καὶ εἶπε Ἀχαὰβ πρὸς Ἠλιού· εἰ εὕρηκάς με, ἐχθρός μου;
καὶ εἶπε· εὕρηκα, διότι μάτην πέπρασαι ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου παροργίσαι αὐτόν.
20 [LXX 20:20] And Achaab said to Ēliou, “Have you found me, my enemy?” and he said, “I have found you: because you have purposelessly sold yourself to do the evil thing before the Lord to provoke him. 20 [LXX 20:20] And Achaab said to Ēliou, “Have you found me, my enemy?” and he said, “I have found you: because you have purposelessly sold yourself to do the evil thing before the Lord to provoke him.

21 [LXX 20:21] Behold, I will bring evil on you, and will take away your posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him who pisses against the wall, and him who is shut up and left in Israēl,

21 [LXX 20:21] τάδε λέγει κύριος ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ σὲ κακὰ καὶ ἐκκαύσω ὀπίσω σου καὶ ἐξολεθρεύσω τοῦ Ἀχαὰβ οὐροῦντα πρὸς τοῖχον καὶ συνεχόμενον καὶ ἐγκαταλελειμμένον ἐν Ἰσραήλ· 21 [LXX 20:21] ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπάγω ἐπὶ σὲ κακὰ καὶ ἐκκαύσω ὀπίσω σου καὶ ἐξολοθρεύσω τοῦ Ἀχαὰβ οὐροῦντα πρὸς τοῖχον καὶ συνεχόμενον καὶ ἐγκαταλελειμμένον ἐν Ἰσραήλ·
21 [LXX 20:21] thus the Lord says, behold, I am bringing evil on you. and I will burn after you, and I will utterly destroy of Achaab him who urinates toward a wall both him who is confined and him who is left in Israēl. 21 [LXX 20:21] thus the Lord says, behold, I am bringing evil on you. and I will burn after you, and I will utterly destroy of Achaab him who urinates toward a wall both him who is confined and him who is left in Israēl.

22 [LXX 20:22] And will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation with which you have provoked me to anger, and made Israēl to sin.

22 [LXX 20:22] καὶ δώσω τὸν οἶκόν σου ὡς τὸν οἶκον Ἰεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβὰτ καὶ ὡς τὸν οἶκον Βαασὰ υἱοῦ Ἀχία περὶ τῶν παροργισμάτων, ὧν παρώργισας καὶ ἐξήμαρτες τὸν Ἰσραήλ. 22 [LXX 20:22] καὶ δώσω τὸν οἶκόν σου ὡς τὸν οἶκον Ἱεροβοὰμ υἱοῦ Ναβὰτ καὶ ὡς τὸν οἶκον Βαασὰ υἱοῦ Ἀχιὰ περὶ τῶν παροργισμάτων, ὧν παρώργισας καὶ ἐξήμαρτες τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
22 [LXX 20:22] And I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and like the house of Baasa son of Achia, concerning the provocations which you provoked and caused Israēl to sin.” 22 [LXX 20:22] And I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and like the house of Baasa son of Achia, concerning the provocations which you provoked and caused Israēl to sin.”

23 [LXX 20:23] And of Jezebel also spoke Yahweh, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.

23 [LXX 20:23] καὶ τῇ Ἰεζάβελ ἐλάλησεν κύριος λέγων οἱ κύνες καταφάγονται αὐτὴν ἐν τῷ προτειχίσματι Ἰεζραέλ. 23 [LXX 20:23] καὶ τῇ Ἰεζάβελ ἐλάλησε Κύριος λέγων· οἱ κύνες καταφάγονται αὐτὴν ἐν τῷ προτειχίσματι Ἰεζράελ.

25 [LXX 20:25] πλὴν ματαίως Ἀχαὰβ ὡς ἐπράθη ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον κυρίου, ὡς μετέθηκεν αὐτὸν Ἰεζάβελ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ· 25 [LXX 20:25] πλὴν ματαίως Ἀχαάβ, ὃς ἐπράθη ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, ὡς μετέθηκεν αὐτὸν Ἰεζάβελ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ·

27 [LXX 20:27] καὶ ὑπὲρ τοῦ λόγου, ὡς κατενύγη Ἀχαὰβ ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ κυρίου καὶ ἐπορεύετο κλαίων καὶ διέρρηξεν τὸν χιτῶνα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐζώσατο σάκκον ἐπὶ τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνήστευσεν καὶ περιεβάλετο σάκκον ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ, ἐπάταξεν Ναβουθαὶ τὸν Ἰεζραηλίτην, 27 [LXX 20:27] καὶ ὑπὲρ τοῦ λόγου, ὡς κατενύγη Ἀχαὰβ ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ ἐπορεύετο κλαίων καὶ διέρρηξε τὸν χιτῶνα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐζώσατο σάκκον ἐπὶ τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνήστευσε καὶ περιεβάλετο σάκκον ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ, ἐπάταξε Ναβουθαὶ τὸν Ἰεζραηλίτην, καὶ ἐπορεύθης,
27 [LXX 20:27] And according to the word, Achaab was pierced with sorrow before the Lord, and he went weeping, and rent his coat, and fastened sackcloth on his body, and fasted; he put on sackcloth also on the day that he struck Nabouthai the Jezraēlite, 27 [LXX 20:27] And according to the word, Achaab was pierced with sorrow before the Lord, and he went weeping, and rent his coat, and fastened sackcloth on his body, and fasted; he put on sackcloth also on the day that he struck Nabouthai the Jezraēlite, and went his way.

28 [LXX 20:28] And the word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

28 [LXX 20:28] καὶ ἐγένετο ῥῆμα κυρίου ἐν χειρὶ δούλου αὐτοῦ Ἠλίου περὶ Ἀχαάβ, καὶ εἶπεν κύριος 28 [LXX 20:28] καὶ ἐγένετο ῥῆμα Κυρίου ἐν χειρὶ δούλου αὐτοῦ Ἠλιοὺ περὶ Ἀχαάβ, καὶ εἶπε Κύριος·

29 [LXX 20:29] Do you see how Ahab humbles himself before me? because he humbles himself before me, I won’t bring the evil in his days; but in his son’s days will I bring the evil on his house.

29 [LXX 20:29] ἑώρακας ὡς κατενύγη Ἀχαὰβ ἀπὸ προσώπου μου;
οὐκ ἐπάξω τὴν κακίαν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ, ἀλλ’ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐπάξω τὴν κακίαν.
29 [LXX 20:29] ἑώρακας ὡς κατενύγη Ἀχαὰβ ἀπὸ προσώπου μου;
οὐκ ἐπάξω τὴν κακίαν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ, ἀλλ’ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐπάξω τὴν κακίαν.
29 [LXX 20:29] “Have you seen how Achaab has been pricked to the heart before me? I won’t bring on evil in his days, but in his son’s days will I bring on the evil.” 29 [LXX 20:29] “Have you seen how Achaab has been pricked to the heart before me?
