Naboth's Vineyard and the Doom of Ahab and Jezebel
Ahab covets Naboth's vineyard near his palace and Jezebel orchestrates Naboth's false accusation and death. The Lord prophesies Naboth's murder will bring doom on the royal pair, fulfilled later, while the faithful Elijah delivers warning and contrast between noble steadfastness and kingly cruelty. The lesson links to enduring faith amid persecution and divine justice.
