17 The Lord said to Elijah the prophet,
18 “King Ahab of Israel is in Naboth's vineyard right now, taking it over.
19 Go and tell him that I say, ‘Ahab, you murdered Naboth and took his property. And so, in the very spot where dogs licked up Naboth's blood, they will lick up your blood.’ ”When Elijah found him,
20 Ahab said, “So, my enemy, you've found me at last.”Elijah answered:Yes, I have! Ahab, you have managed to do everything the Lord hates.
21 Now you will be punished. You and every man and boy in your family will die, whether slave or free.
22 Your whole family will be wiped out, just like the families of King Jeroboam and King Baasha. You've made the Lord very angry by sinning and causing the Israelites to sin.
23 And as for Jezebel, dogs will eat her body there in Jezreel.
