So the watchman said, "He also went to them but does not return; however, the driving is like the driving of Jehu, for he drives very fast." Then Joram said, "Get my chariot ready," and when it was ready he went to meet Jehu and found him in the field of Naboth the Jezreelite. When Joram saw Jehu, he said, "Do you come with peaceful purpose, Jehu?"
Lord Huntinglen listened with great composure, and answered, "An it please your Majesty, there was an answer yielded by Naboth when Ahab coveted his vineyard The Lord forbid that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee." "Ey, my lord ey, my lord!" ejaculated James, while all the colour mounted both to his cheek and nose; "I hope ye mean not to teach me divinity?
Then Jezebel came and told the King, and said, Behold, Naboth is no more rise up and seize the vineyard. So Ahab seized the vineyard, and went into it to possess it.
Before we condemn individuals, it is necessary, even in a wicked community, to accuse them of some crime; hence, when Jezebel wished to compass the death of Naboth, men of Belial were suborned to bear false witness against him, and so it was with Stephen, and so it ever has been, and ever will be, as long as there is any virtue to suffer on the rack, or the gallows.
Since Naboth drew his fence about the field and restricted it to a few wild-eyed steers, halting between the hills and the shambles, many old habitues of the field have come back to their haunts.
And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead. 16.
Accordingly, when Naboth had been thus testified against, as the queen had written to them, that he had blasphemed against God and Ahab the king, she desired him to take possession of Naboth's vineyard on free cost.
Think for a moment what degree of justice it would indicate in a man that he punished every wrong. A Roman emperor, a Turkish cadi, might do that, and be the most unjust both of men and judges. Ahab might be just on the throne of punishment, and in his garden the murderer of Naboth. In God shall we imagine a distinction of office and character?
Jezebel said she could secure the vineyard; and she went forth and forged letters to the nobles and wise men, in the King's name, and ordered them to proclaim a fast and set Naboth on high before the people, and suborn two witnesses to swear that he had blasphemed. They did it, and the people stoned the accused by the city wall, and he died.
Yet upon my little acre you intrude. I am Naboth." Ahab straightened his back; sighed heavily. Naboth started against the prick of a sudden recollection: "I had forgotten. Your examination?" George half turned away. The bitterest moment of a sad day was come. He growled: "Pipped." "Pipped?" "Pilled." "Pilled?" "Spun." "Spun?" "Three months." Mr. Marrapit put his hands to his head: "I shall go mad.
