### Passage Preview
|
||||
The narrative of Naboth's vineyard in 1 Kings 21:1–29 and 2 Kings 9:1–37 teaches us about the painful consequences of theft. This passage records Ahab's covetous desire and greed to own Naboth's vineyard (1 Kings 21:1–7), Jezebel's abuse of power to commit murder and theft (1 Kings 21:8–16), God's condemnation and confrontation of Ahab's and Jezebel's sin (1 Kings 21:17–26), Ahab's repentance of his sin (1 Kings 21:27–29), and God's just judgment of Ahab's family for his murder and theft. This biblical passage warns Christians about the dangerous consequences of greed, coveting, theft, murder, exploitation, and deceit. Through these warnings, this passage teaches Christians the right way to view and steward possessions. God wants Christians to live with a spirit of contentment, gratitude, repentance, and honorable use of authority to protect others and their possessions.

Sometime later, Jehu was the new king of Israel. Joram, one of Ahab’s sons, was injured in battle and returned to Jezreel to heal. Eventually, Jehu came to Jezreel and shot Joram through his heart with an arrow. He died on the very ground that belonged to Naboth. Back in Jezreel, Jezebel put on makeup and a headdress and looked out the window. Jehu told some eunuchs to throw Jezebel out of the window. She fell to her death, her blood splattered, and the horses trampled her. When they went to get the body for burial, all that was left was her skull, feet, and the palms of her hands. No one could recognize her body; it was like dung on the field.

### General Book Introduction
|
||||
The books of 1 and 2 Kings are about what happened to the people of Israel from the time of King Solomon to the time both the northern and southern kingdoms were destroyed. These books describe how Israel split into two kingdoms after Solomon died. It also tells about all the kings that ruled over each kingdom after Solomon died. In the southern kingdom, some kings did what Yahweh judged to be right. For example, King Josiah repaired the temple and reformed the worship of Yahweh. He responded to the high priest finding a copy of the Law of Yahweh in Jerusalem (2 Kings 22–23). However, all of the kings of the northern kingdom were wicked. The Assyrians destroyed the northern kingdom in 722 B.C. The Babylonians destroyed the southern kingdom in 586 B.C.

The English perfect is not always used when translating the predictive past found in the original language. Sometimes English translators use the present or future tense to show the prophetic function of the perfect in Hebrew. The two examples below translate the prophetic perfects found in the original language using the English present and future tenses. To help with identification, the English words that translate the perfect have been placed in bold. A more literal translation has also been given in parenthesis.
