The final chapters of 1 Kings chronicles the wicked king of the North, Ahab. Notoriously, he covets a vineyard owned by one of his subjects, Naboth, which prompts his ungodly wife, Jezebel, to concoct a murderous plot to kill Naboth in order to secure the vineyard for her husband. The book ends with the death of Ahab on the battlefield, which then sets up the book of 2 Kings and the ongoing ministry of Elijah.
