Ahab Seizes Naboth’s Vineyard (I Kings 21:1-2; 16)
Naboth had a vineyard he inherited beside Ahab the king, son of Omri – who was one of the wicked kings in northern Israel.
During the reign of Ahab, the land experienced astronomical increase in victimization, utter disrespect for Yahweh, prominent worship of Baal, Asherah and other foreign gods. Indeed during his reign, apostasy attained its peak.
Ahab asked for possession of Naboth’s vineyard in exchange for money or kindness, but Naboth turned the offer down stating he inherited it. This depressed Ahab to the extent he couldn’t eat. His wife Jezebel – a Sidonian princess and an arch enemy of the worshippers of Yahweh, daughter of King Ethbaal of Sidon – promised to get the vineyard for him at all costs.
Jezebel wrote a letter in Ahab’s name and sealed it with the King’s seal.
