1 Kings 21 (성경통독): We can how greed can lead a person to sin. In this chapter, we learn about how Ahab of Samaria, king of Israel and his wife Jezebel work out a plot take away Naboth the Jezreelite's vineyard in Jezreel that bordered the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. So on that day, the men of the city—the elders and civic leaders—followed Jezebel’s instructions that she wrote in the letters sent to them. They called for a fast day and seated Naboth at the head table. Then they brought in two stool pigeons and seated them opposite Naboth. In front of everybody the two degenerates accused him, “He blasphemed God and the king!” The company threw him out in the street, stoned him mercilessly, and he died.....Furthermore, Ahab, pushed by his wife Jezebel and in open defiance of God, set an all-time record in making big business of evil. He indulged in outrageous obscenities in the world of idols, copying the Amorites whom God had earlier kicked out of Israelite territory..... However, as Ahab showed signs of repentance, God would not bring the doom during his lifetime; Ahab's son, though, would get it.
