V.1-3 Another faithful man in Israel. Naboth would not give up his inheritance from the Lord. How could money or some other piece of ground replace what God had chosen for him?
V.4 Same words said of Ahab here as the last verse of chapter 20. Worse to come.
V.5-16 Terrible act by Ahab’s wicked wife. The leaders of that city were under the power of this woman. But God recorded it all.
V.17-26 And God will punish evil doers according to what He has seen.
V.27-29 Ahab finally humbles himself, and the Lord shows that He sees this too. The punishment must come, but in mercy the Lord says He will give a little relief in his own lifetime.
