1 Kings 21:11-19
The word of the Lord came to Eliah the Tishbite: "Go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who rules in Samaria." Say to him, 'This is what the Lord says: Have you not murdered a man and seized his property?" Then say to him, 'This is what the Lord says: In the place where dogs liked up Naboth's blood, dogs will lick up your blood - yes, yours!'
Elijah, the old prophet of doom, is the only fly in the ointment(美中不足). But Elijah speaks true and for once the king takes notice, winning a stay of judgment for his lifetime.
Why?
The elder and noble did not help Naboth, but they follow the letter of King Ahab, for they afraid the power of king, and did the evil witness to Naboth. They should do the witness for the Lord, but they killed an innocent people.
It is revealed that the custom and the population in the city of Israel was worse and downfall. So they can made false testament to a good man.
How?
Face the world and worse environment now, Christian should do the right things and brave to be a witness to honor the name of the Lord. Don't be accompany of evil doer!
