Hi, my name's Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a Year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture. The Bible in a Year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today. It is day 168. We are reading from 1 Kings chapter 21, 2 Chronicles chapters 21 and 22, and the Song of Solomon chapter 7. As always, the Bible translation that I'm reading from is the Revised Standard Version, 2nd Catholic Edition. And I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension.

We're reading 1 Kings 21, 2 Chronicles 21 and 22, and Song of Solomon chapter 7. The first book of Kings, chapter 21, Naboth's Vineyard. Now Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard in Jezreel beside the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. And after this, Ahab said to Naboth, give me your vineyard that I may have it for a vegetable garden because it is near my house. And I will give you a better vineyard for it. Or if it seems good to you, I will give you its value and money. But Naboth said to Ahab, the Lord forbid that I should give you the inheritance of my father's
And Ahab went into his house vexed and sullen because of what Naboth the Jezreelite had said to him. For he had said, I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.

And he lay down on his bed and turned away his face and would eat no food. But Jezebel his wife came to him and said to him, why is your spirit so vexed that you eat no food? And he said to her, Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and said to him, Give me your vineyard for money, or else, if it please you, I will give you another vineyard for it. And he answered, I will not give you my vineyard. And Jezebel his wife said to him, Do you now govern Israel? Arise and eat bread and let your heart be cheerful. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite. So she wrote letters in Ahab's name and sealed them with his seal. And she sent the letters to the elders and nobles who dwelt with Naboth in his city.
And she wrote in the letters, Proclaim a fast and set Naboth on high among the people and set two base fellows opposite him and let them bring a charge against him saying, You have cursed God and the king. Then take him out and stone him to death. and the men of his city the elders and the nobles who dwelt in his city did as jezebel had sent word to them as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them they proclaimed a fast and set naboth on high among the people and the two base fellows came in and sat opposite him and the base fellows brought a charge against naboth in the presence of the people saying naboth cursed god and the king So they took him outside the city and stoned him to death with stones.
Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth has been stoned, he is dead. As soon as Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money, for Naboth is not alive, but dead. And as soon as Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, Ahab arose to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite to take possession of it. Elijah pronounces God's sentence. Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying, Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who is in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone to take possession. And you shall say to him, Thus says the Lord, Have you killed and also take possession?
And you shall also say to him, Thus says the Lord, In the place where dogs licked up the blood of Naboth, shall dogs lick your own blood?
