1 KINGS—NOTE ON 1 Kings 21:19 In the place where dogs licked up the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick your own blood. Ahab died in battle and was buried in Samaria (1 Kings 22:34), not outside Jezreel “in the place” where Naboth was stoned (1 Kings 21:19; see v. 1 Kings 21:13). Yet, when dogs in Samaria lick up the blood washed from Ahab’s chariot, the text declares that it was a fulfillment of this prophecy (1 Kings 22:38). The prophecy was probably fulfilled in stages, first by Ahab’s death and then by the death of his son Joram, whose body was in fact thrown into Naboth’s vineyard (2 Kings 9:25).
