1 Kings

1 Kings 21:19–20

¹⁹Tell him that this is what the LORD says: ‘Have you not murdered a man and seized his land?’

Then tell him that this is also what the LORD says: ‘In the place where the dogs licked up the blood of Naboth, there also the dogs will lick up your blood — yes, yours!’^a”

²⁰When Elijah arrived, Ahab said to him, “So you have found me out, my enemy.”
