1 Reyes 21:15

15 Y cuando Jezabel oyó que Nabot había sido apedreado y había muerto, Jezabel dijo a Acab: Levántate, toma posesión de la viña de Nabot de Jezreel, la cual él se negó a darte por dinero, porque Nabot no está vivo, sino muerto.

1 Reyes 21:15 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 21:15

And it came to pass when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned,
and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab
To whom she communicated the news as soon as possible:

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;
some think that Naboth was a near relation to Ahab, his father's brother's son ^F5; which they endeavour to support from his estate lying next to Ahab's, and from his being ordered to be set in an high place among the people; and Josephus, as before observed, says he was of illustrious descent; and so Ahab upon his death, his sons being also put to death with him, was next heir to his estate; and therefore Jezebel bid him enter on the possession of it, he being dead, and his sons also, and therefore there was nothing in his way to obstruct him: but rather her meaning is, that Naboth was dead, not of a natural but violent death, by the hand of the civil magistrate; as for blasphemy against God, so for treason against the king, in virtue of which his estate was forfeited to the crown, and that Ahab had a right to possess it; and so it was certainly condemned in later times however among the Jews, that if a man was condemned to die by the sanhedrim, his goods came to his heirs, but if for treason against the king, they ceded to him ^F6.

1 Reyes 21:15 In-Context

13 Entonces entraron los dos hombres malvados y se sentaron delante de él; y los dos hombres malvados testificaron contra él, es decir, contra Nabot delante del pueblo, diciendo: Nabot ha blasfemado a Dios y al rey. Y lo llevaron fuera de la ciudad, lo apedrearon y murió.

14 Después enviaron un mensaje a Jezabel, diciendo: Nabot ha sido apedreado y ha muerto.

15 Y cuando Jezabel oyó que Nabot había sido apedreado y había muerto, Jezabel dijo a Acab: Levántate, toma posesión de la viña de Nabot de Jezreel, la cual él se negó a darte por dinero, porque Nabot no está vivo, sino muerto.

16 Y sucedió que cuando Acab oyó que Nabot había muerto, se levantó para descender a la viña de Nabot de Jezreel, para tomar posesión de ella.

17 Entonces vino la palabra del SEÑOR a Elías tisbita, diciendo:
