The Lord’s Judgment on Ahab
17 Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite:(A) 18 “Get up and go to meet King Ahab of Israel,(B) who is in Samaria.(C) He’s in Naboth’s vineyard, where he has gone to take possession of it. 19 Tell him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Have you murdered(D) and also taken possession?’ (E) Then tell him, ‘This is what the Lord says: In the place where the dogs licked up Naboth’s blood, the dogs will also lick up your blood!’” (F)
20 Ahab said to Elijah, “So, my enemy, you’ve found me, have you?” (G)
He replied, “I have found you because you devoted(H) yourself to do what is evil in the Lord’s sight. 21 This is what the Lord says:[a] ‘I am about to bring disaster on you and will eradicate your descendants:
22 I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam(J) son of Nebat and like the house of Baasha(K) son of Ahijah, because you have angered me and caused Israel to sin.’(L) 23 The Lord also speaks of Jezebel: ‘The dogs will eat Jezebel in the plot of land[d] at Jezreel:(M)
24 Anyone who belongs to Ahab and dies in the city, the dogs will eat,
and anyone who dies in the field, the birds[e] will eat.’”(N)

New American Standard Bible
17 Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 18 “Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, (A)who is in Samaria; behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it. 19 And you shall speak to him, saying, ‘This is what the Lord says: “(B)Have you murdered and also taken possession?”’ And you shall speak to him, saying, ‘The Lord says this: “(C)In the place where the dogs licked up the blood of Naboth, the dogs will lick up your blood, yours as well.”’”
20 Then Ahab said to Elijah, “(D)Have you found me, enemy of mine?” And he [a]answered, “I have found you, (E)because you have given yourself over to do evil in the sight of the Lord. 21 Behold, I am bringing disaster upon you, and I (F)will utterly sweep you away, and will eliminate from Ahab every male, both [b]bond and free in Israel; 22 and (G)I will make your house (H)like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, because of the provocation with which you have provoked Me to anger, and because you (I)have misled Israel into sin. 23 The Lord has also spoken of Jezebel, saying, ‘(J)The dogs will eat Jezebel in the [c]territory of Jezreel.’ 24 (K)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 the sky will eat.”
