1 Kings 21
View through CrossRef
This chapter explores the account of King Ahab, Queen Jezebel, and their confiscation of Naboth’s vineyard in 1 Kings 21. Key terms in the account and character development comport with larger themes of Israelite failure and divine judgment, both in the immediate context of the account in 1 Kings 21, the fates of the king and queen, and in the books of 1 and 2 Kings. The two books of Kings are presented as shaped to explain the defeat of Israel by the Assyrians and the fall of Judah to the Babylonians. Ahab and Jezebel are negative examples to support the conclusion of divine judgment upon the nation as a whole. Extra-biblical data suggests that Ahab was an influential monarch in regional affairs, but these data are not included in the Kings portrait of the monarch. Elijah the prophet and his words and actions also represent a key theme in the negative portrayal of King Ahab and his dynasty.
