1 Kings 21:16 in Context — 1 Kings 21
14 Et ils envoyèrent dire à Jézabel: Naboth a été lapidé, et il est mort.
15 Lorsque Jézabel apprit que Naboth avait été lapidé et qu’il était mort, elle dit à Achab: Lève-toi, prends possession de la vigne de Naboth de Jizreel, qui a refusé de te la céder pour de l’argent; car Naboth n’est plus en vie, il est mort.
16 Achab, entendant que Naboth était mort, se leva pour descendre à la vigne de Naboth de Jizreel, afin d’en prendre possession.
17 Alors la parole de l’Éternel fut adressée à Élie, le Thischbite, en ces mots:
18 Lève-toi, descends au-devant d’Achab, roi d’Israël à Samarie; le voilà dans la vigne de Naboth, où il est descendu pour en prendre possession.
