What does the Bible say about Ahab and Naboth's vineyard?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible details the wicked actions of King Ahab and Jezebel in 1 Kings 21, where they conspired to kill Naboth for his vineyard.
In 1 Kings 21, we find the account of King Ahab who coveted the vineyard of Naboth, a Jezreelite. When Naboth refused to sell his ancestral land, Ahab's wife Jezebel hatched a scheme to have him falsely accused and killed, enabling Ahab to take ownership of the vineyard. This story illustrates the severe consequences of unchecked ambition and illustrates God's judgment against such wickedness. Ahab's actions are emblematic of a larger narrative in Scripture that highlights the depravity of fallen human nature and the ultimate accountability all leaders have before God.
