Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Kings 21:18-19

1 Kings 21:18-19. Arise, go to meet Ahab, which is in Samaria That is, who reigns in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth Or, rather, he will be there by the time thou comest thither. And speak unto him, Hast thou killed and also taken possession? Thou hast murdered an innocent and righteous man; and, instead of repenting of thy crime, hast added another piece of injustice and violence to it, and art going, confidently and cheerfully, to reap the fruit of thy wickedness. He... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 21:1-29

Naboth’s vineyard (21:1-29)The events so far recorded of Ahab show that his religious, military and trade policies were all contrary to God’s will. The story of his seizure of Naboth’s vineyard shows that he was equally ungodly in the matter of common justice. Ahab at first made an honest offer to buy Naboth’s vineyard. Naboth refused, as land inherited from ancestors was an Israelite’s most valued possession (21:1-4). Jezebel therefore arranged to have Naboth falsely accused and executed.... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Kings 21:17

ELIJAH APPEARED AND DELIVERED GOD'S JUDGMENT UPON AHAB AND UPON ALL HIS HOUSE"And the word of Jehovah came to Elijah the Tishbite saying, Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwelleth in Samaria: for he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to take possession of it. And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, In the place where the dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 21:17

17-19. Hast thou killed, and also taken possession?—While Ahab was in the act of surveying his ill-gotten possession, Elijah, by divine commission, stood before him. The appearance of the prophet, at such a time, was ominous of evil, but his language was much more so (compare Ezekiel 45:8; Ezekiel 46:16-18). Instead of shrinking with horror from the atrocious crime, Ahab eagerly hastened to his newly acquired property. read more

Ahab’s judgment for his rebellion against Yahweh 21:17-29Again God told Elijah to "go" (1 Kings 21:18; cf. 1 Kings 17:3; cf. 1 Kings 17:9; 1 Kings 18:1; 1 Kings 19:15). As a faithful servant, he went to confront the king again. Compare Samuel’s second announcement of God’s judgment on Saul (1 Samuel 15). Ahab was not in Samaria at this time (1 Kings 21:18), but in Jezreel (1 Kings 21:19). The mention of Samaria was evidently an ironical reference to Ahab’s capital. Murdering someone and taking... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 21:1-29

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Kings 21:17

(17) Elijah.—We have heard nothing of him since the call of Elisha, as though he had once more retired to solitude. In the mere political service of the preceding chapter, important in the eyes of the world, he takes no part; but emerges now for the higher moral duty of rebuking crime, and avenging innocent blood, in what Eastern tyranny would deem a very trivial matter. Ahab’s address to him seems to imply wonder at his unusual appearance among men. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Kings 21:18

(18) Which is in Samaria.—These words are almost unmeaning, unless they literally signify that Ahab was then in Samaria, not in Jezreel. To interpret them as simply part of Ahab’s title, or as signifying the country, not the town of Samaria, is to explain them away. read more

NABOTH’S VINEYARD1 Kings 21:1-29"The triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the godless is but for a moment."- Job 20:5"If weakness may excuse, What murderer, what traitor, parricide, Incestuous, sacrilegious, but may plead it? All wickedness is weakness."- Samson Agonistes. The chief glory of the institution of prophecy was that it rightly estimated the supremacy of the moral law. The prophets saw that the enforcement of one precept of righteousness involved more true religion than... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - 1 Kings 21:1-29

CHAPTER 21Naboth’s Vineyard 1. Naboth’s refusal (1 Kings 21:1-4 ) 2. Jezebel’s wicked deed (1 Kings 21:5-16 ) 3. Elijah pronounces divine judgment (1 Kings 21:17-24 ) 4. Ahab’s wickedness and confession (1 Kings 21:25-27 ) 5. The LORD’s mercy (1 Kings 21:28-29 ) No comment is needed on the story of Naboth’s vineyard. Jezebel, the wicked, and Ahab’s submission to her was his ruination. On her Satanic suggestion one of the most wicked deeds recorded in Bible history is done. Naboth is... read more
