SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:15
Y cuando Jezabel oyó que Nabot había sido apedreado y muerto, dijo a Acab: Levántate y posee la viña de Nabot de Jezreel, que no te la quiso dar por dinero; porque Nabot no vive, sino que es muerto.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 21:15
Verse 15. Arise, take possession] By what rites or in what forms this was done, we do not know.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. And it came to pass when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab , etc.] 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 f449 ; 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 f450 .
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5-16 - When, instead of a help meet, a man has an agent for Satan, in the for of an artful, unprincipled, yet beloved wife, fatal effects may be expected. Never were more wicked orders given by any prince, than thos Jezebel sent to the rulers of Jezreel. Naboth must be murdered unde colour of religion. There is no wickedness so vile, so horrid, but religion has sometimes been made a cover for it. Also, it must be don under colour of justice, and with the formalities of legal process. Le us, from this sad story, be amazed at the wickedness of the wicked, an the power of Satan in the children of disobedience. Let us commit the keeping of our lives and comforts to God, for innocence will not alway be our security; and let us rejoice in the knowledge that all will be set to rights in the great day.
