Biblical Counsel on Acquiring Real Estate. Part [12] 02/21/2026 (Evening thought)

1st Kings 21:10 And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, you did blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.

1st Kings 21:11 And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them. 14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead. 15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.

1st Kings 21:16 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth to take possession of it. 17 And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it. In other words, on account of Jezebel hatching and carrying out her covetous plan to take real estate by force, there is going to be a lot of collateral damage.

These judgments will be affecting Ahab’s children, and his grand-children and possibly his offspring to the 3rd and 4th generation. These will be persons who had nothing to do with the original plan that Jezebel hatched, but because they are related to herself and Ahab, they also will pay a high price for her crimes, because Naboth’s offspring will also have to deal with the collateral damage that occurred because of his sudden, and violent death.

1st Kings 21:19 And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus, saith the Lord, have you killed, and have you also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus, saith the Lord, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
