8 Then Jezebel wrote some letters, and she signed Ahab’s name on them. She used his official seal to seal them. Then she sent them to the older leaders and other important men who lived in Naboth’s town.

and to write scroll: document in/on/with name Ahab and to seal in/on/with signet his and to send: depart (scroll: document *Q(K)*) to(wards) [the] old: elder and to(wards) [the] noble which in/on/with city his [the] to dwell with Naboth

13 Two men who always caused trouble sat opposite/facing Naboth. While everyone was listening, they stated that they had heard Naboth say things that criticized God and the king. So the people seized Naboth. They took him outside the city and killed him [by throwing] stones at him.

and to be like/as to hear: hear Ahab for to die Naboth and to arise: rise Ahab to/for to go down to(wards) vineyard Naboth [the] Jezreelite to/for to possess: take him

17 Then Yahweh spoke to Elijah the prophet. He said,

and to be word LORD to(wards) Elijah [the] Tishbite to/for to say

18 “Go to Samaria and talk to Ahab, the king of Israel. He is in the vineyard of a man named Naboth. He has gone there to claim that he now owns it.

and to say Ahab to(wards) Elijah to find me enemy my and to say to find because to sell you to/for to make: do [the] bad: evil in/on/with eye: seeing LORD

21 So this is what Yahweh says to you: ‘I will soon get rid of you. I will kill you, and I will also kill every male in your household, including those who are slaves and those who are not slaves.

25 There was no man no man like Ahab who always did things that Yahweh considered to be evil. His wife Jezebel incited/urged him to do [many of] those things.

except not to be like/as Ahab which to sell to/for to make: do [the] bad: evil in/on/with eye: seeing LORD which to incite [obj] him Jezebel woman: wife his

26 The most abominable/detestable thing that Ahab did was to worship idols, just like the Amor people-group had done. And that is why Yahweh took the Amor people’s land from them and gave it to the Israelis.

and to abhor much to/for to go: follow after [the] idol like/as all which to make: do [the] Amorite which to possess: take LORD from face: before son: descendant/people Israel

27 After Elijah finished talking to Ahab, Ahab tore his clothes [to show that he was sorry for all the sins that he had committed]. He put on rough clothes that were made from sacks, and he refused to eat anything. He even wore those rough clothes made from sacks when he slept, to show that he was sorry.

and to be like/as to hear: hear Ahab [obj] [the] word [the] these and to tear garment his and to set: put sackcloth upon flesh his and to fast and to lie down: lay down in/on/with sackcloth and to go: went softly

28 Then Yahweh said this to Elijah:

and to be word LORD to(wards) Elijah [the] Tishbite to/for to say

29 “I have seen [RHQ] that Ahab is now very sorry for all the evil things that he has done. So the things that I promised to do to his [family] will not happen while he is still alive. I will cause them to happen after his son becomes king. Then those things will happen to his family.” [MTY]
