Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Naboth, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, the story of Naboth is referenced in the New Testament in the context of the persecution of prophets and righteous individuals (e.g., Acts 7:52), though not by name.

Usage: Naboth is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Naboth is a significant figure in the Old Testament, known primarily for his encounter with King Ahab of Israel. Naboth was a Jezreelite who owned a vineyard adjacent to the palace of King Ahab in Jezreel. Ahab desired Naboth's vineyard to convert it into a vegetable garden, offering to buy it or exchange it for a better one. However, Naboth refused to sell his ancestral inheritance, adhering to the laws and traditions that prohibited the permanent sale of family land (1 Kings 21:3).

Ahab's wife, Jezebel, orchestrated a plot to acquire the vineyard by falsely accusing Naboth of blasphemy and treason. She arranged for false witnesses to testify against him, leading to Naboth's unjust execution by stoning (1 Kings 21:13). After Naboth's death, Ahab took possession of the vineyard. This act of injustice prompted the prophet Elijah to confront Ahab, pronouncing divine judgment upon him and his house (1 Kings 21:17-24).

Naboth's story is a poignant example of the abuse of power and the violation of justice, highlighting the importance of adhering to God's laws and the consequences of covetousness and corruption.
