The kingdom of Israel divides when Solomon's son Rehoboam refuses to reduce the burden on the northern tribes.(06:55) A brief history of the Lost Ten Tribes in the north and Judah in the south.(10:48) Jeroboam, worried that his people will turn their hearts towards the leaders in the south when they go to the temple in Jerusalem, decides to build rival sanctuaries in Dan and Bethel.(13:25) Do not take counsel from your fears or be fooled by an imitation.(19:18) A man of God warns Jeroboam against false worship, prophesying of a future day when Josiah will destroy it.(22:17) What happened to the Ark of the Covenant? Could Shishak of Egypt have taken this treasure from the Jerusalem temple?(29:13) Elijah, an embodiment of great power, is a type of many prophets. All prophets are types of Christ. (31:49) Elijah seals the heavens and is fed by a raven. He goes to Zarephath and asks a widow woman for her barrel flour and jar of oil, promising they will never become empty during the famine.(40:30) Elijah raises the widow's son from the dead. Jesus duplicates the miracles of Elijah.(43:28) Obadiah, part of Ahab's court, saves 100 prophets from Queen Jezebel and also helps Elijah.(47:29) Obadiah and Elijah's “50” can be seen as part of a bigger picture, as members of a choral arrangement that were connected to the temple and the sacred drama in many ancient cultures.(52:37) Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to call down fire from heaven.

A prophet tells Ahab that Israel will win. Ahab later desires the vineyard of Naboth, who refuses to sell his land. Jezebel, Ahab’s wife, orchestrates a conspiracy to frame Naboth for blasphemy, and Ahab acquires the land through deceit. Elijah comes to inform Ahab that Ahab’s line will cease, that Jezebel will be eaten by dogs, and that Ahab’s blood will be licked up by dogs in the very spot where Naboth was killed. Time vindicates the prophets. → For more of Bryce Dunford’s podcast classes, click here. → Enroll in Institute → YouTube → Apple Podcasts → Spotify → Amazon Music → Facebook The post Ep 378 | 1 Kings 12-22, Come Follow Me 2026 (June 29-July 5) appeared first on LDS Scripture Teachings.

In this Bible Story, we dive more into the mind of the Witch Queen Jezebel. Her evil and twisted ways have a hold on King Ahab, as she enacts cruelty on his behalf. After she has a farmer killed for his land, Elijah confronts Ahab, and he repents before the Lord. This story is inspired by 1 Kings 21.

Naboth had a beautiful vineyard that had been handed down in his family for generations. Naboth loved his vineyard and saw it as a gift from God to himself. But King Ahab also saw it and wanted it for himself. When Naboth refused Ahab, he left to go sulk to his wife. Jezebel was quick to plan and execute Naboth's murder. Though she was crafty, her involvement did not go unseen. And God would not let her or her husband go unpunished.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

In today's episode, Elisha acts through messengers and servants to accomplish kingdom-altering acts. First, the king of Aram sends his servant Hazael to ask Elisha if the king will recover from his sickness. While speaking with him about the matter, Elisha sees Hazael's future, which one of terrible power and destruction. Later, Elisha sends a young prophet to anoint Jehu, an army commander, to be king over Israel. With a number of cunning strategies, Jehu overthrows the house of Ahab, kills Jezebel, the prophets of a Baal, and avenges the blood of Naboth the Gileadite on behalf of the Lord, who predicted Ahab's fall through Elijah. 2 Kings 8 - 1:11 .  2 Kings 9 - 8:32 .  2 Kings 10 - 18:28 .  Psalm 100 - 27:07 .  Psalm 101 - 27:52 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

In this Father's Day message from 1 Kings 21:1-4, Pastor Byron Chesney examines Naboth's refusal to sell the inheritance of his fathers and challenges us to consider the legacy we are leaving behind. Through Scripture and personal testimony, this sermon reminds us that the greatest inheritance is not wealth or possessions, but a heritage of faith, conviction, and godly character that will influence generations to come.

Pastor Jack shares a powerful lesson from the story of Ahab, Jezebel, and Naboth's vineyard. Even after Ahab's great wickedness, God responded with mercy when he humbled himself and repented.

COMMENTAIRE DE LA 1ère LECTURE DU JOUR1 R 21, 17-29Après la mort de Naboth, la parole du Seigneur fut adressée au prophète Élie de Tishbé : « Lève-toi, va trouver Acab, qui règne sur Israël à Samarie. Il est en ce moment dans la vigne de Naboth, où il s'est rendu pour en prendre possession. Tu lui diras : “Ainsi parle le Seigneur : Tu as commis un meurtre, et maintenant tu prends possession. C'est pourquoi, ainsi parle le Seigneur : À l'endroit même où les chiens ont lapé le sang de Naboth, les chiens laperont ton sang à toi aussi.” » Acab dit à Élie : « Tu m'as donc retrouvé, toi, mon ennemi ! » Élie répondit : « Oui, je t'ai retrouvé. Puisque tu t'es déshonoré en faisant ce qui est mal aux yeux du Seigneur, je vais faire venir sur toi le malheur : je supprimerai ta descendance, j'exterminerai tous les mâles de ta maison, esclaves ou hommes libres en Israël. Je ferai à ta maison ce que j'ai fait à celle de Jéroboam, fils de Nebath, et à celle de Baasa, fils d'Ahias, tes prédécesseurs, car tu as provoqué ma colère et fait pécher Israël. Et le Seigneur a encore cette parole contre Jézabel : “Les chiens dévoreront Jézabel sous les murs de la ville de Yizréel !” Celui de la maison d'Acab qui mourra dans la ville sera dévoré par les chiens ; celui qui mourra dans la campagne sera dévoré par les oiseaux du ciel. » On n'a jamais vu personne se déshonorer comme Acab en faisant comme lui ce qui est mal aux yeux du Seigneur, sous l'influence de sa femme Jézabel. Il s'est conduit d'une manière abominable en s'attachant aux idoles, comme faisaient les Amorites que le Seigneur avait chassés devant les Israélites. Quand Acab entendit les paroles prononcées par Élie, il déchira ses habits, se couvrit le corps d'une toile à sac – un vêtement de pénitence – ; et il jeûnait, il gardait la toile à sac pour dormir, et il marchait lentement. Alors la parole du Seigneur fut adressée à Élie : « Tu vois comment Acab s'est humilié devant moi ! Puisqu'il s'est humilié devant moi, je ne ferai pas venir le malheur de son vivant ; c'est sous le règne de son fils que je ferai venir le malheur sur sa maison. »  

What if the greatest thief of your joy isn't your circumstances—but your comparison? In this powerful conclusion to the Ten Commandments series, Pastor Josh Whitehead reveals how coveting quietly poisons gratitude and keeps us chasing a life God never intended for us. Through the commands to honor your father and mother and not covet, we're challenged to embrace the life God has given us instead of grasping for someone else's.

COMMENTAIRE DE LA 1ère LECTURE DU JOUR1 R 21, 1-16En ce temps-là, Naboth, de la ville de Yizréel, possédait une vigne à côté du palais d'Acab, roi de Samarie. Acab dit un jour à Naboth : « Cède-moi ta vigne ; elle me servira de jardin potager, car elle est juste à côté de ma maison ; je te donnerai en échange une vigne meilleure, ou, si tu préfères, je te donnerai l'argent qu'elle vaut. » Naboth répondit à Acab : « Que le Seigneur me préserve de te céder l'héritage de mes pères ! » Acab retourna chez lui sombre et irrité, parce que Naboth lui avait dit : « Je ne te céderai pas l'héritage de mes pères. » Il se coucha sur son lit, tourna son visage vers le mur, et refusa de manger. Sa femme Jézabel vint lui dire : « Pourquoi es-tu de mauvaise humeur ? Pourquoi ne veux-tu pas manger ? » Il répondit : « J'ai parlé à Naboth de Yizréel. Je lui ai dit : “Cède-moi ta vigne pour de l'argent, ou, si tu préfères, pour une autre vigne en échange.” Mais il a répondu : “Je ne te céderai pas ma vigne !” » Alors sa femme Jézabel lui dit : « Est-ce que tu es le roi d'Israël, oui ou non ? Lève-toi, mange, et retrouve ta bonne humeur : moi, je vais te donner la vigne de Naboth. » Elle écrivit des lettres au nom d'Acab, elle les scella du sceau royal, et elle les adressa aux anciens et aux notables de la ville où habitait Naboth. Elle avait écrit dans ces lettres : « Proclamez un jeûne, faites comparaître Naboth devant le peuple. Placez en face de lui deux vauriens, qui témoigneront contre lui : “Tu as maudit Dieu et le roi !” Ensuite, faites-le sortir de la ville, lapidez-le, et qu'il meure ! » Les anciens et les notables qui habitaient la ville de Naboth firent ce que Jézabel avait ordonné dans ses lettres. Ils proclamèrent un jeûne et firent comparaître Naboth devant le peuple. Alors arrivèrent les deux individus qui se placèrent en face de lui et portèrent contre lui ce témoignage : « Naboth a maudit Dieu et le roi. » On fit sortir Naboth de la ville, on le lapida, et il mourut. Puis on envoya dire à Jézabel : « Naboth a été lapidé et il est mort. » Lorsque Jézabel en fut informée, elle dit à Acab : « Va, prends possession de la vigne de ce Naboth qui a refusé de la céder pour de l'argent, car il n'y a plus de Naboth : il est mort. » Quand Acab apprit que Naboth était mort, il se rendit à la vigne de Naboth et en prit possession.

In this story from 1 Kings 21, we think about why bad things happen to good people. We also think about the righteous judgement of God prophesied by Elijah and also the surprising kindness of God. First preached: 7th June 2026. Speaker: James McNay.

This week's Bible class takes a closer look at King Ahab and the spiritual downfall of Israel during his reign. Even though Ahab was wealthy, powerful, and politically successful, Scripture describes him as a man who “sold himself to do evil in the sight of the Lord” (1 Kings 21:25). Through the influence of Jezebel, the rejection of truth, and the acceptance of wickedness, we see how far a nation can drift from God when sin becomes normalized.We also explore practical lessons for Christians today: the power of influence, the danger of surrounding ourselves with voices that only tell us what we want to hear, and the importance of standing firmly on God's truth even when culture moves the other direction. Along the way, the class examines stories like Naboth's vineyard, the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, and Elijah's confrontation with Ahab and Jezebel.This lesson is a sobering reminder that outward success is never a substitute for faithfulness to God.

A new MP3 sermon from Students of the Bible is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Naboth's Vineyard Speaker: Joe Arthur Broadcaster: Students of the Bible Event: Sunday Service Date: 6/17/2018 Bible: 1 Kings 21 Length: 23 min.

In this episode of All for the Kingdom, Ben Smith preaches from 1 Kings 21:17–29 in a message titled “Faithful in Every Season.”After Naboth is murdered and Ahab takes possession of his vineyard, the Lord sends Elijah to confront the king with a word of judgment. Ahab had sold himself to do evil in the sight of the Lord, and Elijah's message exposes the sin that Ahab may have tried to hide behind excuses.This sermon considers the call for God's people to speak truth faithfully in every season. Believers must be willing to confront sin, contend for righteousness, and declare the whole truth of God. Yet this passage also reminds us that God's purpose in confronting sin is not merely retribution, but repentance and restoration.Scripture Passage: 1 Kings 21:17–29Series: The Story of ElijahKey Themes: Elijah, Ahab, Naboth's vineyard, repentance, judgment, restoration, faithfulness, speaking truth, biblical preachingTo learn more, visit BenSmithSr.org.

What happens when jealousy, lies, and unchecked words take control?In 1 Kings 21, a simple vineyard becomes the center of a shocking story involving greed, manipulation, false accusations, and a man who refuses to compromise what God entrusted to him. This message dives into the lives of Naboth, Ahab, and Jezebel and challenges us to examine our own hearts, our motives, and the power carried in the words we speak.Some words leave scars long after they are spoken. The question is: what are our words producing?

1 Kings 21 The Story of Naboth and the Vineyard

1 Kings 21 The Story of Naboth and the Vineyard

Ahab's sin against Naboth was wicked, selfish, and deadly. Yet when Ahab humbled himself before the Lord, God showed mercy. This episode reminds us that mercy is never deserved, justice is never forgotten, and no one is beyond the reach of God's gracious hand when they humble themselves before Him.

Evening Sermon from 19 April

This chapter highlights the integrity of Naboth and the repentance of Ahab.

In this episode I discuss 1 Kings 21 and Naboth's vineyard.

Aneirin Glyn - What happens to Naboth reveals not only what King Ahab is like, but also our world. The Lord sees it all, especially how his people are treated, and will certainly judge. Which makes the glimpse of God's outrageous grace all the more astounding.

Message Take Aways:1. Greed and envy led King Ahab and Jezebel to conspire against Naboth wrongly believing their evil would go unpunished—“A false witness will not go unpunished,And he who speaks lies shall perish.” Proverbs 19:92. The Lord saw the wicked conduct of King Ahab and Jezebel and, in response, issued a pronouncement of condemnation—“And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.” Hebrews 4:133. King Ahab responded to the word of the Lord with contrition resulting in mercy from the Lord—“Who is a God like You, Pardoning iniquity And passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He does not retain His anger forever, Because He delights in mercy.” Micah 7:18

What if the justice you're obsessed with—whether life is fair to *you*—is actually making your world smaller and more miserable? You'll discover what God really means when He calls us to "do justice" in Micah 6:8, and why it's less about getting what you deserve and more about showing up for those who lack access to what they need. Through the story of Naboth's vineyard, you can expect to see how injustice begins when we let money, power, or comfort dictate our ethics instead of God—and how doing justice becomes a "get to" rather than a "have to" that actually expands your world with joy.Passages in this message:Micah 6:81 Kings 21:1-16Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from The Story!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:Thestorygr.com/connectJOIN US IN PERSON:The Story Church475 6 Mile Road NW, Comstock Park, MI 49321You can support the ministry happening at The Story at thestorygr.com/give#thestorychurch #comstockparkmi

December 17, 2025 - Wednesday PM Bible Class   This episode is a topical Deuteronomy class on curses and their consequences, led by a teacher with interactive audience discussion. The speaker begins by defining what a biblical curse is—how it differs from modern use—and gives everyday analogies (like the childhood rhyme “cross my heart and hope to die”) to show that a curse pronounces real consequences for specific behavior. The episode walks through the cluster of curses in Deuteronomy 27 (verses 15–26), explaining the offenses named there: idolatry; dishonoring parents; moving boundary markers (stealing); leading the blind astray; perverting justice for foreigners, orphans and widows; various prohibited sexual relationships; secret attacks on neighbors; bribery and murder; and the broad curse on anyone who fails to observe the law. Andy clarifies the social and legal reasons behind several items (for instance, why moving landmarks mattered) and offers biblical examples and trivia—Jeroboam's calf-worship, Naboth's vineyard, Gideon's family—to show these sins did occur in Israel's history. Next the class examines the consequences set out in Deuteronomy 28 (beginning verse 15), surveying the long list of curses: agricultural failure, disease (consumption, fever, tumors, boils), military defeat, exile, economic ruin, social collapse and more. The speaker distinguishes between natural consequences (e.g., disease spreading when purity laws are ignored) and divine interventions (e.g., exile and enforced idolatry), and points out historical fulfillment in the cycles of Judges, the divided monarchy, and the Assyrian and Babylonian captivities. Audience questions and examples (including Job) are used to nuance the theology: not all suffering is direct punishment for sin, though disobedience can and did bring judgment. The class closes by connecting these Old Testament curses to the new covenant: God's seriousness about sin, the reality that God enforces moral law, and the gospel solution. The teacher highlights Deuteronomy 21:23—"he who is hanged on a tree is accursed"—as prophetic, observing that Christ bore the curse deserved by humanity so believers can be freed from the divine consequences of sin. Listeners can expect a clear, example-rich unpacking of the texts, historical parallels, pastoral insight about suffering and judgment, and practical application for living under God's covenant in light of Christ's sacrifice.   Duration 31:25

Coveting is a heart problem that leads to slavery. When we give ourselves over to desires for what others have, we become slaves to those longings. The story of Ahab and Naboth warns us how such desires can consume us and bring ruin. The post Coveting and Contentment appeared first on Mt. Rose OPC.

Jehu was God's weapon of judgment upon Ahab and Jezebel. He carried out his mission with intensity and zeal. Although God has not called the church to violence, we should, nevertheless, imitate Jehu's zeal in our mission to love. 1 Kings 16:30-33 Ahab did more to provoke God to anger than all the kings of Israel who came before him. He introduced and sponsored the worship of Canaanite gods, including Baal and Asherah. His wife, Jezebel of Sidon, was a religious zealot who relentlessly persecuted the prophets of Yahweh, including Elijah (1 Kgs. 19:2). 1 Kings 21:5-7 When righteous Naboth refused to sell his vineyard to Ahab, Jezebel took matters into her own hands. After she had Naboth executed, Ahab took possession of his neighbor's plot. 1 Kings 19:15-17; 21:19-29 God ordained that Jehu become king instead of Ahab. This Jehu would be God's weapon of vengeance upon Ahab's house. 2 Kings 9:4-13 After a young prophet anointed the military commander, Jehu, king, his officers immediately supported his bid for the throne. 2 Kings 9:30-31 Jehu first confronted and the reigning king Joram, Ahab's son. Then he came for Jezebel. Next, he arranged for the death of all Ahab's seventy sons. 2 Kings 10:18-19 Last of all, Jehu killed as many worshipers of Baal as he could and turned the temple into a latrine. John 3:16-17 Jesus is the true and better Jehu. However, God did not send him to condemn the world, but to save it. Revelation 19:11-16 Nevertheless, when Jesus comes again, he will come in judgment, making Jehu's zeal look small in comparison. Pastor Sean uses the Bible version NRSVUEThe post Forgotten Kings: Jehu first appeared on Living Hope.

In this final message of the Ten Commandments series, Pastor Les Cody unpacks the power of the Tenth Commandment: Do Not Covet. Through the story of Ahab and Naboth, he reveals how covetousness becomes the root of so many other sins—and how it opens the door to the Jezebel spirit. This sermon calls us back to Radical Love, gratitude, and full surrender, reminding us that Jesus must remain our first love.

1 Kings 21 tells the story of Naboth, a righteous man who owns a vineyard beside King Ahab's palace. When Ahab tries to buy it, Naboth refuses because the land is his God-given inheritance. Ahab sulks like a child, and his wife Queen Jezebel steps in with ruthless determination. She arranges false accusations against Naboth, leading to his unjust execution. After Naboth is killed, Ahab seizes the vineyard — but God sends the prophet Elijah to confront him. Elijah delivers a severe prophecy of judgment: the same injustice done to Naboth will return upon Ahab's house, and Jezebel will also face divine punishment. This chapter is a powerful reminder that God sees injustice, defends the innocent, and holds the wicked accountable.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.“Thank you for listening to SendMe Radio — where we share the Gospel, inspire faith, and keep you connected with powerful stories and updates from around the world.

Fraud in Minnesota isn't slowing down — it's exploding. Billions lost. Zero accountability. Elected officials looking the other way because the system benefits them. In this raw and honest episode, Vince Miller (pastor) and Rep. Elliott Engen (politician) sit down to talk about the fraud crisis no one else seems willing to address. From Feeding Our Future to autism program scams to DEI-shielded corruption, this conversation pulls the curtain back on what's happening behind the scenes. Vince connects today's corruption to the biblical story of Ahab, Jezebel, and Naboth from 1 Kings 21 — showing how injustice and fraud aren't new…but they always demand accountability. Elliott shares inside political realities, on-the-ground stories, and the personal cost of exposing fraud. And together they ask the real question: What can people of faith actually do? This episode is bold, honest, and deeply needed.

Welcome back to Straight Bible with The Raven, Top Lobsta, and Matt — filmed live inside The Standard Coffee Shop in Lady Lake, FL.In Part 3 of The Story of Elijah, we dive into 1 Kings 21 — the brutal, political, spiritual, and prophetic showdown between Ahab, Jezebel, and the righteous man Naboth. This episode unpacks one of the most dramatic chapters in the Old Testament: false accusations, corrupt government, demonic manipulation, cowardly leadership, Jezebel's wicked schemes, murder, prophetic justice, spiritual inheritance, and God's response to systemic evil.Inside this episode we break down:

The second Syrian War, also a success for Israel. But Ahab ruins everything by saving Ben-Hadad's life. Ahab then takes Naboth's vineyard at the inciting of his wicked wife Jezebel. A curse on both of them from the Lord.

Today we continue our study of Elijah's ministry. Elijah's Ministry     ⁃    Prediction and Provision - no rain or dew     ⁃    Contest at Mount Carmel the time of drought ends in a contest     ⁃    Encounter at Mount Horeb     ⁃    Word at Naboth's Vineyard     ⁃    Elijah taken to heaven We pick up the story from last week, at the contest at Mount Carmel where we learn that Jezebel has promised to kill Elijah. After the threat, Elijah, fearful for his life, travels forty days to Mt. Horeb (Mt. Sinai). Pastor shares several possibilities for the location of this mount leaning towards today's Jabal al Maqla.  Elijah makes it to Mt. Horeb and he is discouraged and fearful and exhausted and we read of his depression in 1 Kings 19:9-10. He ends this verse saying, "I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too."  God's response is, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord for the Lord is about to pass by." Divine Encounter     ⁃    Wind comes - but the Lord was not in the wind     ⁃    Earthquake comes - but the Lord was not in the earthquake     ⁃    Fire comes - but the Lord was not in the fire     ⁃    Gentle whisper comes - the Lord speaks of Elijah's assignment.  Elijah thinks of himself as a failure and wants to give up, but God tells him He has more for him to do, that he is not to give up. Mission: Anointing     ⁃    Elijah is told to anoint Hazael as king over Aram     ⁃    He is told to anoint Jehu over Israel     ⁃    He is told to anoint Elisha as his successor Then God assures Elijah that he is not alone and tells him that there are 7,000 in Israel who have not bowed down to Baal. Elijah obeys God's commands and leaves Mt. Horeb and he comes to Elisha working in the field and Elijah anoints him. Elijah now has a partner for the rest of his ministry time on earth. This may have been as long as 10 years together. God gives Elijah a word of judgement to give to King Ahab. Ahab's response was to tear his clothes, put on sackcloth and fast. And because Ahab humbled himself in repentance, God withheld the judgement saying, "I will not bring this disaster in his day, but I will bring it on his house in the days of his son" God relents, because He is gracious and He desires all people come to Him.  God responds when we repent. At the end of Elijah's ministry Elijah is one of two people mentioned in the Bible who were taken alive to heaven. We read in 2 Kings 2:11-12 "As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind. Elisha saw this and cried out, 'My father, My father! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!' And Elisha saw Elijah no more." Elijah's Legacy     ⁃    Malachi's prophecy (Malachi 4:5-6)      ⁃    Gabriel and Zechariah (Luke 1:17)     ⁃    Elijah who was to come (Matthew 11;13-14)     ⁃    Transfiguration of Jess (Matthew 17:2-3)     ⁃    Prayer life of Elijah (James 5:17-18) A big takeaway from Elijah's story is that we are to follow God no matter what comes our way, no matter what may be happening in our lives or in the world around us because God is faithful and He knows how to defend and take care His own.

  1:1 And that man was blameless and upright- Job will be described as blameless and upright in 1:1, 8; 2:3. The emphasis in this verse is not on the time Job lived nor where he lived but on his character. “Job's blameless is given precedent over the more external description of Job's family and wealth" (Clines, 9) His character both begins (vs. 1) and ends (vs. 4-5) this section. The word translated blameless is a pivotal word in the book (8:20; 9:20, 21, 22). The same root word appears in 12:4; 36:4; 37:16 and its feminine form appears in 27:5; 31:6. In 9:20 the word blameless (or guiltless in the NASB) is used in parallelism with the word righteous and an antonym for blameless is to declare guilty. In 9:22 blameless or guiltless is the opposite of the wicked. Blameless is not sinless. Job acknowledges “iniquities of my youth” in 13:26; 14:16-17. This root word for blameless is used of Noah (Gen. 6:9), Abraham (Gen. 17:1), and to describe the sacrificial animals in Ex. 12:5; 29:1; Lev. 1:3. In Ps. 19:13 blameless is defined as being kept back from great transgression.1:5 “With such an expression of Job's concern, his own still-future temptation would be foreshadowed" (Clines, 16). The very thing that Job feared his children would do, curse God in their hearts, is what the Satan says that Job will do if his blessings are taken away in 1:11; 2:5. It will also be what his wife encourages him to do in 2:9. The word translated curse is actually the Hebrew term for bless. We know that it means curse because of its connection with the word sinned in 1:5. Why was the term for bless used when curse is its meaning? While we can only speculate on the why it is possible that the thought of cursing God was so abhorrent that the scribes could not bring themselves to write these words and used bless as a euphemism for curse. (Alter, 12). The same phenomena appears where Naboth is accused of blessing (cursing) God and the king in I Kings 21:10, 13; Psalm 10:3. The weakness with this argument however is that there are places in the Old Testament that speak of cursing God and use the word generally rendered curse- Exodus 22:28; Lev. 24:14, 15, 23; Isa. 8:21. Each time the word bless is used we must examine whether it means bless or its opposite. (Seow, 254-255).

In today's episode, Elisha acts through messengers and servants to accomplish kingdom-altering acts. First, the king of Aram sends his servant Hazael to ask Elisha if the king will recover from his sickness. While speaking with him about the matter, Elisha sees Hazael's future, which one of terrible power and destruction. Later, Elisha sends a young prophet to anoint Jehu, an army commander, to be king over Israel. With a number of cunning strategies, Jehu overthrows the house of Ahab, kills Jezebel, the prophets of a Baal, and avenges the blood of Naboth the Gileadite on behalf of the Lord, who predicted Ahab's fall through Elijah.2 Kings 8 - 1:11 . 2 Kings 9 - 8:32 . 2 Kings 10 - 18:28 . Psalm 100 - 27:07 . Psalm 101 - 27:52 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

In this Bible Story, we dive more into the mind of the Witch Queen Jezebel. Her evil and twisted ways have a hold on King Ahab, as she enacts cruelty on his behalf. After she has a farmer killed for his land, Elijah confronts Ahab, and he repents before the Lord. This story is inspired by 1 Kings 21.

Naboth had a beautiful vineyard that had been handed down in his family for generations. Naboth loved his vineyard and saw it as a gift from God to himself. But King Ahab also saw it and wanted it for himself. When Naboth refused Ahab, he left to go sulk to his wife. Jezebel was quick to plan and execute Naboth's murder. Though she was crafty, her involvement did not go unseen. And God would not let her or her husband go unpunished.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, host Hunter guides us through day 169 of our year-long journey through the Scriptures. We begin with the dramatic stories of First Kings 20-21, witnessing the confrontations between King Ahab, Ben-Hadad, and the tragic story of Naboth's vineyard. We continue into Second Chronicles 17, where King Jehoshaphat's faithfulness brings strength and blessing to Judah. Our reading concludes in Colossians 3, with the Apostle Paul's powerful reminder to embrace our new life in Christ and to clothe ourselves with love, forgiveness, and gratitude. Hunter brings these ancient texts to life, reflecting on God's impartial love, the futility of viewing our relationship with Him as transactional, and the good news that we are all included and deeply loved. Join us as we listen, pray, and let the truth of God's Word shape our hearts today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: God has no favorites. I have three daughters and there have been times in life when people have asked me, Hunter, who's your favorite? And I have to chuckle when I hear that because my mind doesn't even go there. I don't think in terms of one daughter being favored over another because they're all my kids. They're my girls. I love them dearly. I have no favorites. And we're told that God has no favorites. We are all his children. It doesn't matter whether we're Abigail, Magdalene, or Eden Hunter, or Heather, or you, or whoever. It doesn't matter. Whether we are Jew or Gentile, circumcised, uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave or free, it doesn't matter. Christ is all that matters. He is the favored one. And we—our lives—are hidden in his. That's what Paul says. Our real life is hidden with God in Christ, the favored one. He has no favorites because we're all favored. We're all loved. We've been included. God has reconciled the whole world to himself. Paul says he has no favorites because we are all loved by him. And that, my friend, is such good news. And the prayer of my own heart today is that I will see who I am in Christ, favored and loved. And that's a prayer that I have for my family, too—for my daughters, for my wife, and for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Jesus is my shepherd. You have called me by my name into the life of the Beloved. Here in the stillness, I remember that I am not alone. I belong to you and to the great communion of saints and sinners held together in your love. Remind me, Lord, that every breath is grace, every encounter is a chance to give what I have received—mercy without measure. When I forget who I am, when I lose my way, lead me again to still waters. Restore my soul, renew my hope. Reroute me in the joy of simply being yours. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory Forever and ever. Amen.
