Naboth the Jezreelite
(1 Kings 21)
I. No study of the life and times of Elijah would be complete without considering the seizure of
Naboth's vineyard by Ahab and Jezebel, for it was there that God again sent Elijah to challenge
the king. 1KI 21 c/w PRO 1:17-19.
A. When Israel rashly desired a king like the nations, God warned them about things like this. 1SAM 8:14.
B. One would think that someone with riches, prestige and power like Ahab would need no
more, but man's nature is covetous. PRO 27:20; ECC 5:10.
