1 Kings 21:20 in Context — 1 Kings 21

18 Levanta-te, desce a encontrar-te com Acabe rei de Israel, que está em Samaria: eis que ele está na vinha de Nabote, à qual desceu para tomar possessão dela.

19 E falar-lhe hás, dizendo: Assim disse o SENHOR: Não mataste e também possuíste? E voltarás a falar-lhe, dizendo: Assim disse o SENHOR: No mesmo lugar de onde lamberam os cães o sangue de Nabote, os cães lamberão também teu sangue, o teu mesmo.

20 E Acabe disse a Elias: Achaste-me, inimigo meu? E ele respondeu: Eu te encontrei, porque te vendeste a fazer o mal diante do SENHOR.

21 Eis que eu trago mal sobre ti, e varrerei tua posteridade, e exterminarei de Acabe todo macho, ao escravo e ao livre em Israel:

22 E eu porei tua casa como a casa de Jeroboão filho de Nebate, e como a casa de Baasa filho de Aías; pela provocação com que me provocaste à ira, e com que fizeste pecar a Israel.
