Naboth
n . 拿伯
拿伯
Naboth fruits , "
the Jezreelite ,"
was the owner of a portion of ground on the eastern slope of the hill of Jezreel (
2 Kings 9 :
25 ,
26 ).
This small "
plat of ground "
seems to have been all he possessed .
It was a vineyard ,
and lay "
hard by the palace of Ahab " (
1 Kings 21 :
1 ,
2 ),
who greatly coveted it .
Naboth ,
however ,
refused on any terms to part with it to the king .
He had inherited it from his fathers ,
and no Israelite could lawfully sell his property (
Lev .
25 :
23 ).
Jezebel ,
Ahab '
s wife ,
was grievously offended at Naboth '
s refusal to part with his vineyard .
By a crafty and cruel plot she compassed his death .
His sons also shared his fate (
2 Kings 9 :
26 ;
1 Kings 21 :
19 ).
She then came to Ahab and said , "
Arise ,
take possession of the vineyard ;
for Naboth is not alive ,
but dead ."
Ahab arose and went forth into the garden which had so treacherously and cruelly been acquired ,
seemingly enjoying his new possession ,
when ,
lo ,
Elijah suddenly appeared before him and pronounced against him a fearful doom (
1 Kings 21 :
17 -
24 ).
Jehu and Bidcar were with Ahab at this time ,
and so deeply were the words of Elijah imprinted on Jehu '
s memory that many years afterwards he refers to them (
2 Kings 9 :
26 ),
and he was the chief instrument in inflicting this sentence on Ahab and Jezebel and all their house (
9 :
30 -
37 ).
The house of Ahab was extinguished by him .
Not one of all his great men and his kinsfolk and his priests did Jehu spare (
10 :
11 ).
Ahab humbled himself at Elijah '
s words (
1 Kings 21 :
28 ,
29 ),
and therefore the prophecy was fulfilled not in his fate but in that of his son Joram (
2 Kings 9 :
25 ).
The history of Naboth ,
compared with that of Ahab and Jezebel ,
furnishes a remarkable illustration of the law of a retributive providence ,
a law which runs through all history (
comp .
Ps .
109 :
17 ,
18 ).
