Corruption is a form of injustice to which an innocent person is subjected.
- Ahab coveted a fruitful vineyard of a great farmer by the name Naboth, the Jezrelite.
- The farm was next to Ahab's palace. Ahab approached Naboth and asked him if he could sell the vineyard in exchange with another.
- Naboth boldly rejected this idea. He could neither sell nor exchange the property, because it was a property belonging to the family.
- Ahab became gloomy and even lost the appetite of eating. When Ahab revealed this to his pagan wife: Jezebel, Jezebel worked out a quick plan of action.
- She forged letters in the King's name and sealed them with the King's rubber stamp and sent them to the elders of Jezreel
- She had accused Naboth of two grievous faults i.e. blasphemy and treason.
Blasphemy is the act of insulting God and treason is insulting a King. Such crimes were punished through stoning the subject. Naboth had no time to defend himself and therefore faced the consequences. Jezebel then compelled Ahab to possess the vineyard.
- God therefore commissioned Elijah to pass judgment against Ahab.
- The divine judgment was that Ahab's Kingdom was going to be destroyed. His family members would die the same death as Naboth. Ahab went down on his knees, put on a sack cloth as a sign of repentance. God promised to effect the punishment during the reign of Ahab's sons. Ahab broke three commandments:
a. You shall not desire your neighbour's property;
b. Do not bear false witness;
c. Do not kill.
