| But when Ahab went down to Jezreel to take possession of the vineyard of Naboth, Elijah came to meet him by the command of God, with the word of the Lord, "Hast thou murdered and also taken possession?" The question served to sharpen his conscience, since Ahab was obliged to admit the fact. בּשׁמרון אשׁר means "who lives at Samaria," for when Elijah came to meet him, Ahab was in Jezreel, Elijah then said to him still further: "Thus saith the Lord: In the place where the dogs have licked the blood of Naboth, will they also lick thine, yea, thy blood." אתּה גּם serves as an emphatic repetition of the suffix (cf. Ges. 121, 3). This threat was only so far fulfilled upon Ahab, from the compassion of God, and in consequence of his humbling himself under the divine judgment (Kg1 21:27-29), that dogs licked his blood at Samaria when the carriage was washed in which he had died (Kg1 22:38); but it was literally fulfilled in the case of his son Joram, whose corpse was cast into Naboth's piece of ground (Kg2 9:25-26). |

26 Surely I have seen [07200] yesterday [0570] the blood [01818] of Naboth [05022], and the blood [01818] of his sons [01121], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; and I will requite [07999] thee in this plat [02513], saith [05002] the LORD [03068].
