Study 18 From the Book of 1 Kings: 1 Kings 21

1. Consider the parts played by Ahab, Jezebel, a
   
   nd the elders of Jezreel respectively in the murder of Naboth. What was the special guilt of each? What was it that distinguished Elijah from all these? What do we learn from his example of the qualities God wants in us if He is to do His work?
   
2. Sum up what you have learnt from Ahab's from chapters 20 and 21.

Notes

1. Verse 2 and 3. Ahab's offer was fair in itself, but when he failed to gain his desire he was displeased. Yet Naboth, according to the law, had the right to refuse. See Nu. 36:7
2. Verse 15. We learn from 2 Ki. 9:26 that Naboth's son's were also put to death, that there might be no surviving heir.
