Naboth
Naboth ( he, נבות) was a citizen of Jezreel. According to the Book of Kings in the Hebrew Bible, he was executed by Queen Jezebel so that her husband Ahab could possess his vineyard. Narrative 1 Kings 21:1-16 states that Naboth owned a vineyard, in proximity to King Ahab's palace in the city of Jezreel. Because of this, Ahab desired to acquire the vineyard so that he could use it for a vegetable (or herb) garden. Since he inherited the land from his ancestors, Naboth refused to sell it to Ahab. According to the Mosaic law, the law forbade the permanent selling of land. Frustrated at not being able to procure the vineyard, Ahab returned to his palace and went to bed without eating anything. His wife, Jezebel, after learning the reason for his being upset, asked mockingly, "Are you not the king?" She then said that she would obtain the vineyard for him. To do so, she sent a letter, under Ahab's name, to the elders and nobles of Naboth's city, instructing them to entrap Nabo ...

According to the 1st Book of Samuel Chapter 25, Nabal ( ''Nāḇāl'', "fool") was a rich Calebite, described as harsh and surly. He is featured in a story in which he is threatened by David over an insult, and ultimately killed by God. Biblical Narrative According to the Biblical narrative, David (who was not yet king) and his band of men, who had been fleeing from King Saul, went to the Wilderness of Paran. The account states that Nabal lived in the city of Maon, and owned much land in the town of Carmel, as well as many sheep and goats. The account is set at the time of sheep shearing, which in Israelite culture was a time for great festivities, owing to the importance of the wool trade. At this time David sent ten men to Nabal. David told his men to remind Nabal that his men had not harmed or robbed Nabal's shepherds, and requested that Nabal give him whatever provisions were on hand. David's request is couched in language that refers to David's men as Nabal's servants, an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Remains of the village have been excavated north of Jericho, in Ephraim, between Bethel and Jericho.
