1 Kings 21:14-20
New American Standard Bible
15And when Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, Jezebel said to Ahab, 'Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.'
16When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, Ahab got up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
17Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
18Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who is in Samaria; behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it.
19And you shall speak to him, saying, ‘This is what the Lord says: 'Have you murdered and also taken possession?'?’ And you shall speak to him, saying, ‘The Lord says this: 'In the place where the dogs licked up the blood of Naboth, the dogs will lick up your blood, yours as well.'?’?'

17But the Lord said to Elijah,
18Go down to meet King Ahab of Israel, who rules in Samaria. He will be at Naboth’s vineyard in Jezreel, claiming it for himself.
19Give him this message: ‘This is what the Lord says: Wasn’t it enough that you killed Naboth? Must you rob him, too? Because you have done this, dogs will lick your blood at the very place where they licked the blood of Naboth!’'
