1 Reyes 21:7 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 21:7

And Jezebel his wife said unto him, dost thou now govern the
kingdom of Israel?
&c.] Art thou not king of Israel? canst thou not do as thou pleasest? hast thou not power to oblige a subject to obey thy commands, and especially in such a trifling matter as parting with a vineyard, and that upon the most reasonable terms? thou hast too much demeaned thyself as a king; thou oughtest to have exerted thy kingly power and authority, and demanded it from him; the Targum is,

``thou now shalt prosper in thy kingdom over Israel;''

thy reign now is prosperous, and like to continue so, having obtained two such victories over thine enemies, and therefore should not be dejected with such a trifling thing as this:

arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry:
the kingdom being in such a flourishing state; and let not this affair give thee any trouble or uneasiness; I will take care of that, leave it with me:

I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite:
without paying any money, or giving another vineyard in exchange for it.

5 Su esposa Jezabel entró y le preguntó:—¿Por qué estás tan deprimido que ni comer quieres?
6 —Porque le dije a Nabot el jezrelita que me vendiera su viñedo o que, si lo prefería, se lo cambiaría por otro; pero él se negó.
7 Ante esto, Jezabel su esposa le dijo:—¿Y no eres tú quien manda en Israel? ¡Anda, levántate y come, que te hará bien! Yo te conseguiré el viñedo del tal Nabot.
8 De inmediato escribió cartas en nombre de Acab, puso en ellas el sello del rey, y las envió a los ancianos y nobles que vivían en la ciudad de Nabot.
9 En las cartas decía:«Decreten un día de ayuno, y den a Nabot un lugar prominente en la asamblea del pueblo.
