1 Reis 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.

1 Reis 21:7 In-Context

5 Jezabel, sua mulher, entrou e lhe perguntou: “Por que vocĂȘ estĂĄ tĂŁo aborrecido? Por que nĂŁo come?”
6 Ele respondeu-lhe: “Porque eu disse a Nabote, de Jezreel: ‘Venda-me a sua vinha; ou, se preferir, eu darei a vocĂȘ outra vinha no lugar dessa’. Mas ele disse: ‘NĂŁo te darei minha vinha’.”
7 Disse-lhe Jezabel, sua mulher: “É assim que vocĂȘ age como rei de Israel? Levante-se e coma! Anime-se. Conseguirei para vocĂȘ a vinha de Nabote, de Jezreel”.
8 EntĂŁo ela escreveu cartas em nome de Acabe, pĂŽs nelas o selo do rei e as enviou Ă s autoridades e aos nobres da cidade de Nabote.
9 Naquelas cartas ela escreveu:“Decretem um dia de jejum e ponham Nabote sentado num lugar de destaque entre o povo.
