1 Kings 21

We will take a look at 1 Kings 21.

Questions to consider

Vs. 1-4: Ahab covets Naboth's vineyard

  1. Why would Naboth not give his vineyard to Ahab? (site scriptural basis)
  2. How are we in this day tempted to give away or compromise our inheritance?

Vs. 5-16: Jezebel's plot and murder of Naboth

  1. Describe Jezebel's actions in these verses. What does it also say of the leaders of the city?
  2. Considering who Jezebel is, what is unusual about the charge she has brought against Naboth?
  3. Was anyone else stoned to death besides Naboth? If so, who/why?

Vs. 17-29: Elijah confronts Naboth

  1. What was the basis on which Elijah went to confront Ahab?
  2. What was Elijah's message to Ahab? Was it only for Ahab or did it include others?
  3. Vs. 20: What does it mean "you sold yourself to do evil in the sight of the Lord"?
  4. Share your thoughts on Ahab's repentance and God's reaction.
