1 Kings 21:1-16. Naboth the Jezreelite is stoned to death and Ahab takes possession of his vineyard (Not in Chronicles)

1. This chapter is placed by the LXX. before the preceding, and numbered 20. Josephus also adopts that order of the events. In consequence, the LXX. omits the words -after these things" in 1 Kings 21:1.

The LXX. (Alex.) calls Naboth -an Israelite". This of course he was. But Jezreelיזרעאל may easily, especially in ms., be mistaken for Israelישׂראל. Both versions of the LXX. make the vineyard to be not near the palace, but near the threshingfloorof Ahab.
