Naboth, who appears to be an honorable man standing for his rightful position as a landowner, has the sad fate to be another unjustified source for Ahab’s whining depression because he could not have his way. Worse than that, the wicked Jezebel gets involved and has the honorable man murdered. This was the last straw—God pronounced the doom of this evil pair. Both predictions came true in their deaths. Ahab died in spite of an attempt to disguise himself and Jezebel died in spite of the passing of time (1 Kings 22; 2 Kings 9).
