19 Tell him, 'This is what the LORD asks: Have you murdered someone just to confiscate [a vineyard]?' Then tell him, 'This is what the LORD says: At the place where the dogs licked up Naboth's blood, the dogs will lick up your blood.'| 20 Ahab asked Elijah, |So you've found me, my enemy?| Elijah answered, |I found you. Because you sold yourself to do what the LORD considers evil. 21 So I am going to bring evil on you. I will destroy your descendants. I will destroy every male in Ahab's [house], whether slave or freeman in Israel. 22 I will make your family like the family of Jeroboam (Nebat's son) and like the house of Baasha, son of Ahijah, because you made me furious. You led Israel to sin.| 23 Then the LORD also spoke [through Elijah] about Jezebel: |The dogs will eat Jezebel inside the walls of Jezreel. 24 If anyone from Ahab's [house] dies in the city, dogs will eat him. If anyone dies in the country, birds will eat him.| 1 Kings 21:19-24, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
